Take My Land

You can take my cash away

But you won’t take my land from me

Buried ‘neath these swamps and clay

Is where my whole family lays

Down deep in the hollers of Georgia

Is where the devil went

Don’t get caught in this ole quick sand

life flashes as you take your last breath

Pain in this muddy ol’ creek runs deep

Gonna see if you drown

Shoulda never came driftin’ through

This one light town

Gambler settin’ on the corner

Smokin’ hand rolled two snake eyes

Two-night town not meant for one

Try to take my land

You’ll lose your life, life, life, life

Tree brush crash and drag

As it scrapes your skin away

Heart racing uncontrollably

Eyes flicker as your breath escapes

Nervous tremors take your body over

Gasping breaths, push you over the edge

Your brain trapped, there’s no way out

Desperation sets, your conscious caves in

Pain in this muddy ol’ creek runs deep

Gonna see if you drown

Shoulda never came driftin’ through

This one light town

Gambler settin’ on the corner

Smokin’ hand rolled two snake eyes

Two-night town not meant for one

Try to take my land

You’ll lose your life, life, life, life

Run fearfully, to get away

You trip and fall to what the end will be

Roll down the edge of the river bank

Shots fire, you collapse instantly

Splash and swallow, last drops of holy water,

Red Scarlet darkens, water where you lay

Float and drift away

Through the land of my family

Trespassed a place, you never should’ve been

I said, trespassed a place you never should’ve been

Pain in this muddy ol’ creek runs deep

Gonna see if you drown

Shoulda never came driftin’ through

This one light town

Gambler settin’ on the corner

Smokin’ hand rolled two snake eyes

Two-night town not meant for one

Try to take my land

You’ll lose your life, life, life, life

Your gonna lose your life
