Mud, Whiskey and Blood

[Live Intro] [Brief natural crowd ambience] (Spoken) How the hell are you doing tonight? You got any whiskey out there? Alright... let's get dirty. Yeah… down in the bayou. The devil’s waiting. And I’m outta luck. [Verse 1] Got a hole in my pocket, dust on my boots Digging up the sins from my broken roots Whiskey in the bottle, black smoke in the air I asked the Lord for mercy, but there’s nobody there Bottle of cheap bourbon burning in my throat Riding this river on a sinking boat [Pre-Chorus] I hear the thunder rolling over the pines… The devil came down to claim what is mine! [Chorus] MUD, WHISKEY AND BLOOD! Drowning my soul in the southern mud! No grace! No turnin’ back! Riding this train till it jumps the track! MUD, WHISKEY AND BLOOD! (Spoken) I wanna hear you! MUD! [Crowd] WHISKEY AND BLOOD! [Verse 2] Crossroads at midnight, lantern shining dim Met a sharp-dressed stranger, took a deal with him He gave me a six-string made of rusty iron wire Told me play it loud while the world’s on fire [Pre-Chorus] The storm is breaking, the chains are tight! I’m gonna fight the devil in the dark tonight! [Chorus] MUD, WHISKEY AND BLOOD! Drowning my soul in the southern mud! No grace! No turnin’ back! Riding this train till it jumps the track! MUD, WHISKEY AND BLOOD! [Bridge] Six feet under, where the worms crawl slow… You reaped what you sowed down below… Now the gates are bursting, the chains break free… YOU CAN’T DRAG MY SOUL TO HELL WITH YOU! [Guitar Solo] (Spoken) Yeah! Let that guitar scream! [Final Chorus] MUD, WHISKEY AND BLOOD! Drowning my soul in the southern mud! No grace! No turnin’ back! Riding this train till it jumps the track! MUD, WHISKEY AND BLOOD! [Outro] The fire burns down… the swamp goes still. Whiskey’s all gone. (Spoken) Thank you! Get home safe... or don't.
