Muddy the Water

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We'd burn that candle at both ends We'd spin them tires and let 'em smoke We'd back pew hallelujah Did a few things only heaven knows, and We lived like we would never die We grabbed the dice and let 'em roll One foot in the book of John One on the wrong road [Chorus] We towed the line 'tween saint and sinner And burned some good nights down to embers Left more than a few things out in that river Drinkin' spirit from a bottle, sendin' prayers to the Father Damn sure knew how to muddy the water [Verse 2] We ran our grace into the ground We kept our mamas prayin' hard We pushed forgiveness to the edge And sometimes too far [Chorus] We towed the line 'tween saint and sinner And burned some good nights down to embers Left more than a few things out in that river Drinkin' spirit from a bottle, sendin' prayers to the Father Damn sure knew how to muddy the water [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] I left my boots there, on the bank of it In the shade of some shoreline trees Preacher man said some words, dipped me down in it And I came back clean [Chorus] Towed the line 'tween saint and sinner And burned some good nights down to embers Left more than a few things out in that river Drinkin' spirit from a bottle, sendin' prayers to the Father Damn sure knew how to muddy the water [Outro] Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
