[Verse 1] Sun on my boots at dawn Muddy rows by the barn Corn climbs up the fence Till the day turns hard My hands know the work From the gate to the shed You count your blessings slow When the field turns red [Pre-Chorus] Then I hear that river call See the silver on the bend One more cast before dark One more breath, one more friend [Chorus] Mud and river That’s my home Mud and river Where I go Plant it deep Let it grow Mud and river Take me home [Verse 2] Old green tractor hums By the bean patch line Boots sink in the clay Then I pull them dry Net in the back of the truck Line rolled neat and tight Bream flash in the shallows Like coins in the light [Pre-Chorus] Then I hear that river call See the silver on the bend One more cast before dark One more breath, one more friend [Chorus] Mud and river That’s my home Mud and river Where I go Plant it deep Let it grow Mud and river Take me home [Bridge] If the rain comes hard I don’t run away I know how to wait I know how to stay Give me soil, give me water Give me work I can hold Give me dawn on my shoulders And a line on the cold [Final Chorus] Mud and river That’s my home Mud and river Where I go Plant it deep Let it grow Mud and river Take me home
