[Verse 1] You know that swimming hole back in the day? Red clay bank and that old tire swing We’d skip rocks past the cypress shade Then jump in fast, no second-guessing Bare feet on the hot creek stone Cold water hit like a shock to the bones [Pre-Chorus] Old screen door, screen-printed sun Mason jar dew and a half-cut run We’d holler loud, let the whole day know Once that current caught, we’d let it go [Chorus] Swimming with the Crawfish, hey hey Swimming with the Crawfish, hey hey Not worrying what’s down there Not worrying what’s down there We just laugh and dive right in We just laugh and dive right in [Verse 2] Papaw said there’s things in that bend Catfish eyes and a log that sinks But we were kids with a daredevil grin And a belly full of summer drinks Seen those little red claws wave In the mud where the minnows played [Pre-Chorus] Sun got low, and the air got thick Mosquito buzz on the sweetgum sticks You’d call my name from across that hole And I’d splash back, lose control [Chorus] Swimming with the Crawfish, hey hey Swimming with the Crawfish, hey hey Not worrying what’s down there Not worrying what’s down there We just laugh and dive right in We just laugh and dive right in [Bridge] Now the bank’s grown over green That rope got gone, that bend got mean But I still taste that river heat And I still hear us, wild and free Hey hey [Final Chorus] Swimming with the Crawfish, hey hey Swimming with the Crawfish, hey hey Not worrying what’s down there Not worrying what’s down there If the dark holds a thousand things We were young, we took the swing Swimming with the Crawfish, hey hey Swimming with the Crawfish, hey hey
