Swamp Water Sins

(Verse 1) Woke up in a room that don’t got no name Ceiling fan’s drunk and my head's in pain Ashtray full of teeth, blood on the blinds Don’t know if I sinned, but know I crossed that line (Verse 2) She had legs like venom, and a kiss like flame Said her daddy ran shine Lord I forgot her name Now I’m missin’ my shirt and a piece of my pride And there’s claw marks where my soul used to hide (Chorus) Swamp water sins, drag me down slow Where the mud runs thick and good men don’t go Got a heart full of rust and a gut full of fire And the devil don't knock, he just kicks the door wide (Verse 3) My guitar’s cracked, strings are just barbed wire Amp’s held together with spit, glue, and fire I don’t tune it no more—just scream and slide ‘Til it sounds like a chainsaw eatin’ what’s left of my pride (Verse 4) She left a note on a matchbook: "You’ll never learn.” Then she lit my bed just to watch it burn Now I ride with ghosts in a smoke-filled van Playin’ roadhouse riffs while half in the bag (Chorus) Swamp water sins, born with the flies Buzzin' round my head while I spit out goodbyes I don’t play for heaven, I don't beg for grace I just howl like a sinner with the Lord in his face (Verse 5) Ain’t no clean come-back, just dirt and scars Every story I tell got teeth and tar If you want salvation, keep on prayin’ But if you want the blues, you better start playin’ (Final Chorus) Swamp water sins, baptized in smoke I was born in the gutter and grew up broke Ain’t no redemption in a busted amp’s cry— Just a slide, some fuzz, and a bottle run dry Yeah… Swamp got me now. Ain’t no comin’ back.
