It's been a part of me since I was in my bad feet
Rolled a swing two nights out
Just a couple of the kids and I
Cooling off the summertime
Waiting in my church clothes
Preacher saying hold your nose
Mama on a riverbank crying
Right after I got baptized
I stuck around and I cast a line
We sneak off in the middle of the night
Making our moves where the catfish bites
Skipping rocks on the sit and talk
We drank so much that we
We could walk on it
It's all I've ever known
Yeah, it's where I'm supposed to be
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me
I wouldn't know it standing on the shore
But it's only underneath
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me
In a world of I don't know's
I could find my way home
Where the red dirt mixes with rain
Cause it's only gonna flow one way
Like the blood running through my veins
Now I've seen the ocean from my hotel room
It's a little too salty
A little too blue for me
Now all I need
Is to drift away down some no-night's sleep

It's all I've ever known
And it's where I'm supposed to be
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me
I wouldn't know it standing on the shore
But it's only underneath
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me
Yeah, it's where I'm supposed to be
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me
I wouldn't know it standing on the shore
But it's only underneath
And I swear God made
Muddy water for me
One day when I get called home
Be a partner to the crew
Cause I swear God made
Muddy water for me
For me
