Between the moccasins, the skeeters, and the gators Old tires and rusted out refrigerators You'd think it's a wonder I made it out alive, yeah I learned to watch my step and how to swim there My first fish and my first beer's still buried in there Along with the all the where I'm from I grew up and left behind Ain't it funny how you gotta leave home sometimes to find it My rambin' liked to sink me like a stone The world don't often look like the Lord designed it Turns out it was under them bare feet all along Somewhere in the mud and kudzu vines The suns still shines brighter in my memory there than it does here Lookin' back into that Delta, flat, Mississippi mirror I see it all creekwater clear Ooh, ooh (mm, mm) Ooh, ooh If I said today I'm good, I'd be a liar 'Cause that somethin's missing sticks me like a briar It's been so long since I've been back So long I can't believe So with a six-pack, some crickets, and a cane pole I'm headed down to where that muddy water flows SongtexteIf I could only find myself this time, I may never leave Ain't it funny how you gotta leave home sometimes to find it My rambin' liked to sink me like a stone The world don't often look like the Lord designed it Turns out it was under them bare feet all along Somewhere in the mud and kudzu vines The suns still shines brighter in my memory there than it does here Lookin' back into that Delta, flat, Mississippi mirror I see it all creekwater clear Down under them roots In the banks in between It might look dirty, but it'll wash you clean Ain't it funny how you gotta leave home sometimes to find it My rambin' liked to sink me like a stone The world don't often look like the Lord designed it Turns out it was under them bare feet all along Somewhere in the mud and kudzu vines The suns still shines brighter in my memory there than it does here Lookin' back into that Delta, flat, Mississippi mirror I see it all creekwater clear Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Aus Songtexte Mania
