Bayou Blackened Heart

[Intro] Blood on my boots tonight Blood in my hands tonight The river keeps me dirty And the dark keeps me alive [Verse 1] I woke up under rainbow skies With a coffin grin and a ghost by my side Hell on the night like a chain-link drum And the old year crawls where the dead roads run You said "stay clean," but the swamp said "come" So I dragged my soul where the reeds grow dumb Black teeth moon and a bent-up board I heard that ache in the floorboards roar [Chorus] Blood in the bayou Pull me back, pull me back Blood in the bayou it bleeds , I still come back Blood in the bayou I move through the black in the bayou It bleed, i still come back [Verse 2] Crimson stains on an Easter dress hem And a cracked front porch in the pouring wind I keep one light in a jar of night But the glass goes dim when the wolves get near You got a hard way, I got a harder road With a fistful of dust and a hungry soul When the low tide rises and the porch boards shake I hear my bones like a freight train wake [Bridge] Let it break Let it roll Let the ruin take the whole I was cut from mud and flame I will not forget my name [Guitar Solo] Ahh Ohh Yeah [Chorus] Blood in the bayou Pull me back, pull me back Blood in the bayou it bleeds, I still come back Blood in the bayou I move through the black Blood in the bayou It bleeds , I still come back [Outro] Blood on my boots tonight Blood on my hands tonight The river keeps my dirty And the dark keeps me alive
