Creekwater Clear

[00:16.53] Between the moccasins, the skeeters, and the gators
[00:21.43] Old tires and rusted out refrigerators
[00:25.98] You'd think it's a wonder I made it out alive, yeah
[00:35.17] I learned to watch my step and how to swim there
[00:39.05] My first fish and my first beer's still buried in there
[00:44.06] Along with the all the where I'm from
[00:46.65] I grew up and left behind
[00:52.74] Ain't it funny how you gotta leave home sometimes to find it
[00:57.51] My rambin' liked to sink me like a stone
[01:01.97] The world don't often look like the Lord designed it
[01:06.42] Turns out it was under them bare feet all along
[01:11.07] Somewhere in the mud and kudzu vines
[01:13.63] The suns still shines brighter in my memory there than it does here
[01:19.59] Lookin' back into that Delta, flat, Mississippi mirror
[01:24.41] I see it all creekwater clear
[01:27.84] Ooh, ooh (mm, mm)
[01:32.22] Ooh, ooh
[01:35.21] If I said today I'm good, I'd be a liar
[01:40.07] 'Cause that somethin's missing sticks me like a briar
[01:44.46] It's been so long since I've been back
[01:47.35] So long I can't believe
[01:53.21] So with a six-pack, some crickets, and a cane pole
[01:57.98] I'm headed down to where that muddy water flows
[02:02.32] If I could only find myself this time, I may never leave
[02:11.30] Ain't it funny how you gotta leave home sometimes to find it
[02:15.94] My rambin' liked to sink me like a stone
[02:20.33] The world don't often look like the Lord designed it
[02:24.87] Turns out it was under them bare feet all along
[02:29.60] Somewhere in the mud and kudzu vines
[02:32.21] The suns still shines brighter in my memory there than it does here
[02:37.91] Lookin' back into that Delta, flat, Mississippi mirror
[02:42.92] I see it all creekwater clear
[02:46.02] Down under them roots
[02:48.31] In the banks in bewteen
[02:50.79] It might look dirty, but it'll wash you clean
[02:56.16] Ain't it funny how you gotta leave home sometimes to find it
[03:00.96] My rambin' liked to sink me like a stone
[03:05.34] The world don't often look like the Lord designed it
[03:09.71] Turns out it was under them bare feet all along
[03:14.48] Somewhere in the mud and kudzu vines
[03:17.01] The suns still shines brighter in my memory there than it does here
[03:22.82] Lookin' back into that Delta, flat, Mississippi mirror
[03:28.84] I see it all creekwater clear
[03:32.54] Ooh, ooh
[03:36.91] Ooh, ooh
[03:41.45] Ooh, ooh
[03:45.89] Ooh, ooh
[03:47.94]
