Pushing Mud

I got hooked on a drink in 93

The same damn year she tried to swallow me

She breached the levee with incredible ease

Oh, she broke my home and brought me to my knees

And I know, that's the way I'll go

Yeah, I know, that's the way I'll go

So I waste my life pushing mud

Thick and black like the devil's blood

Carried down here by the water so deep

That cold, dirty bitch will be the death of me

And I know, that's the way I go

Yeah, I know, that's the way I go

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Well, the water took my job at the factory

But it's 2019, so I'm selling the weed

My lover don't think that it's morally right

But it pays the bills, keeps on the lights

And I know, that's the way I go

Yeah, I know, that's the way I go

She's the queen of the valley and she's wearing me down

Been a hundred hard years and I'm ready to drown

Need a 50-gallon drum and some gasoline

Oh, that cold, muddy water be the death of me

And I know, that's the way I go

Yeah, I know, that's the way I go

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

So I waste my life pushing mud

Thick and black like the devil's blood

Carried down here by the water so deep

That cold, dirty bitch will be the death of

The death of

The death of

The death of me
