Iron Roots Muddy Water

作曲：Levi Stoker

作词：Levi Stoker

Born in the bottom where the cypress grows tall

Learning how to stand before I learned how to crawl

The river is a thief and the land is a lie

But I'm carved out of hickory and built to defy

The rain came down and took the porch and the gate

Left me standing in the current

With a heavy handed fate

They say give it up son let the tide take the low

But I'm the only living thing left on this road

Oh I've got iron roots muddy water in my veins

I'm the spirit of the levy breaking through the chains

You can flood the valley you can drown the town

But you're gonna need a mountain just to pin me down

Yeah

The world keeps pushing but I'm anchored in the clay

I'm a slow burning fire that won't fade away

I am roots muddy water I'm here to stay

I've seen the high flyers sink like a stone

Trying to reap a harvest they never had sown

But I've been down here in the dark in the mud

Depending on my calluses never on book

My hands are stained black by the work and the greece

Trading all my comfort just to find a little peace

There's a powder in the struggle

That the wealth it never knew

When the water starts rising I'm the one coming through

'Cause I've got irons muddy water in my veins

I'm the spirit of the levy breaking through

The chains you can flood the valley

You can drown the town

But you're gonna need a mountain just to pin me down

Yeah the world keeps pushing

But I'm anchored in the cave

I'm a slow burning fire that won't fade away

I ain't a root

Muddy water I'm here to stay

Pull me down pull me down

Still standing

Drag me under still breathing

I've been baptized in the thunder

You can't break

What was made in the cold

Still got my soul

Yeah I got orange bloody water in my veins

I'm the spirit of the levy breakin' through the chains

You can flood the valley

You can drown the town

But your golden ain't a mountain just to pin me down

Oh yeah

The world keeps pushing but I make it in the play

I'm a slow burning fire that won't fade away

Iron roots

Muddy water

I'm here to stay

Deep in the clay

In muddy water

Still here
