Muddy Water (Live)

It's been a part of me since I was in my bare feet
Rope swing two knots high
Just a couple other kids and I
Cooling off the summertime
Wading in my church clothes preaching saying hold your nose
Momma on the riverbank crying
Right after I got baptized
I stuck around and I cast a line

Now we'd sneak off in the middle of the night
Making night moves where the catfish bites
Skipping rocks on it
Sit and talk on it
We drank so much that we could walk on it

It's all I've ever known
Yeah it's where I'm supposed to be
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me
I wouldn't know it standing on the shore
But it's holy underneath
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me

In a world of "I don't knows" I can find my way home
Where the red dirt mixes with rain
'Cause it's only gonna flow one way
Like the blood running through my veins

Now I've seen the ocean from a hotel room
It's a little too salty a little too blue
For me
Now all I need
Is to drift away down some no name stream

It's all I've ever known
And it's where I'm supposed to be
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me
I wouldn't know it standing on the shore
But it's holy underneath
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me

Oh won't you take me on down to the muddy water

It's all I've ever knownYeah It's where I'm supposed to be
And I swear that God made
Muddy water for me
I wouldn't know it standing on the shore
But it's holy underneath
And I swear that God made
Muddy water for me

One day when I get called home
There'll be a path to the creek
'Cause I swear God made
Muddy water for me
