"Muddy Water" lyrics

The Deslondes & Riley Downing Lyrics

"Muddy Water"

Run to the holler by the old trash pile
Pig farm's closed but kids are still hog wild
Run to the river by the jumping bridge
I play my blues for the small town kid

I cut the thistle like I've always done
I jump back down and then I jump back on
I hooked a chain and I hooked it well
Pulled all them trees and the roots to hell

And we'll drink muddy water
Cause we know it only makes us stronger
I don't give a dang if you do or
You don't no longer

Run to the holler by the old trash pile
Pig farm's closed, the kids are still hog wild
Run to the river by the jumping bridge
You'll meet all kinds when you're a small town kid

And we'll drink muddy water
Cause we know it only makes us stronger
I don't give a shoot or a ladder
If you do no longer
