[Intro]
| Dm | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
Dm
  Mama don't sleep well
She worries 'bout the kids all night
And the kids don't eat well
They worry 'bout the mama so they hustle on the side

[Pre-Chorus]
G                            F
 And daddy workin' three jobs
The sweat keeps drippin' in the Buffalo sunshine
Dm
  So he drives that car
Promises someday, mama,
we will be all right

[Chorus]
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm                                Dm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down

[Verse 2]
Dm
  Sister's got a new car
No new friends,
she got money in the bank
And every day she works hard,
she plays hard
Baby knows how to drink

[Pre-Chorus]
G
 Her brother's in a bad place
F
Takes prescriptions for pain to keep his demons at bay
       Dm
So she,  so she drives that car
Promises, someday brother,
we will be all right

[Chorus]
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down

[Bridge]
Dm F
    It's pullin' me down, down, down
Bb
  Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down

[Verse 3]
Dm
  Every day, I pray and I pray,
feel like the rain always stayin'
Every day, I pray and I pray,
I pray that I find my way
Every day, I pray and I pray,
feel like the rain always stayin'
Every day, I pray and I pray,
I gotta find an escape

[Chorus]
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down

[Outro]
Dm F
    It's pullin' me down, down, down
Bb
  Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Dm F
    It's pullin' me down, down, down
Bb
  Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
