Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's been a part of me since I was in my bare feet Rope swing two knots high Just a couple other kids and I Cooling off the summertime Wading in my church clothes, preacher saying, "Hold your nose" Momma on the riverbank crying Right after I got baptized I stuck around and I cast a line Now we'd sneak off in the middle of the night Making night moves where the catfish bites Skipping rocks on it, sit and talk on it We drank so much that we could walk on it [Chorus] It's all I've ever known Yeah, it's where I'm supposed to be And I swear God made Muddy water for me I wouldn't know it standing on thе shore But it's holy underneath And I swеar that God made Muddy water for me [Verse 2] In a world of "I don't knows" I can find my way home Where the red dirt mixes with rain 'Cause it's only gonna flow one way Like the blood running through my veins Now I've seen the ocean from a hotel room It's a little too salty, a little too blue for me Now all I need Is to drift away down some no name stream [Chorus] It's all I've ever known And it's where I'm supposed to be And I swear God made Muddy water for me I wouldn't know it standing on the shore But it's holy underneath And I swear that God made Muddy water for me [Bridge] Oh, won't you take me on down to the muddy water [Chorus] It's all I've ever known Yeah, it's where I'm supposed to be And I swear that God made Muddy water for me I wouldn't know it standing on the shore But it's holy underneath And I swear that God made Muddy water for me [Outro] One day when I get called home There'll be a path to the creek 'Cause I swear God made Muddy water for me
