"Snakes In The Water" lyrics
Snakes in the water...
They tell you about your enemies...
Tell you that ya better keep ya guard up
But they don't tell about the ones that you can't see
Snakes in the water...
Snakes in the water...
I was wadin' up the river with a yak in my hand
Water still cold, but the small mouth bite was fire man
Sun hittin' right, everything felt good
Nothin' felt off, just another day in the woods
Them river shoes in the current, steady watchin' my step
Almost back to the truck, ain't but one shoal left
...then a snake came underwater tryna attack me...
My big redneck ass became an athlete
Heart jumped quick, I ain't even gon' lie
Started high-steppin', tryin' not to die
Didn't feel no bite, didn't see no mark
I was just glad to be alive at dark
Yeah I seen 'em in the grass, seen 'em in the mud
Run 'em over with the mower, hit 'em with a truck
But the truth is, it don't always go that way
Sometimes they hide where you feel most safe
Yeah that's the kind you don't see comin'
When you're in the holler...
Snakes in the water...
Snakes in the water...
It's the same way in life... you're thinking your good
Staying in your own lane, doin' what you know you should
You're just mindin' your business, tryna keep your circle tight
Everything calm, so everything feels right
Then somethin' slides beside ya, you ain't seen before
Ain't making no noise, but it's wanting something more
No it won't loud, it ain't always clear
Sometimes danger look like somebody you hold near
That's why I move how I move, stay aware
'Cause calm water don't mean nothin' ain't there
You can read the signs, and do things right
But still get tested... by snakes in life
Nah you won't expect it
It ain't always what it seems
Sometimes it's right there with you
In the middle of the stream
Yeah I seen 'em in the grass, seen 'em in the mud
Run 'em over with the mower, hit 'em with a truck
But the truth is, it don't always go that way
Sometimes they hide where you feel the most safe
Yeah that's the kind you don't see comin'
When you're in the holler...
Snakes in the water...
Snakes in the water...
Snakes in the water...
They tell you about your enemies...
Tell you that ya better keep ya guard up
But they don't tell about the ones that you can't see
Snakes in the water...
Snakes in the water...
I was wadin' up the river with a yak in my hand
Water still cold, but the small mouth bite was fire man
Sun hittin' right, everything felt good
Nothin' felt off, just another day in the woods
Them river shoes in the current, steady watchin' my step
Almost back to the truck, ain't but one shoal left
...then a snake came underwater tryna attack me...
My big redneck ass became an athlete
Heart jumped quick, I ain't even gon' lie
Started high-steppin', tryin' not to die
Didn't feel no bite, didn't see no mark
I was just glad to be alive at dark
Yeah I seen 'em in the grass, seen 'em in the mud
Run 'em over with the mower, hit 'em with a truck
But the truth is, it don't always go that way
Sometimes they hide where you feel most safe
Yeah that's the kind you don't see comin'
When you're in the holler...
Snakes in the water...
Snakes in the water...
It's the same way in life... you're thinking your good
Staying in your own lane, doin' what you know you should
You're just mindin' your business, tryna keep your circle tight

Snakes in the water...
Snakes in the water...
Snakes in the water...
