[Verse]
D
It's been a part of me since I was in my bare feet
Bm G
Rope swing two knots high
Bm G
Just a couple other kids and I
E A D
Cooling off the summertime
D
The wading in my church clothes
Preacher saying hold your nose
Bm G
Momma on the riverbank crying
Bm G
Right after I got baptized
E A D
I stuck around and I cast a line

[Chorus]
G
Now we'd sneak off in the middle of the night
D
Making night moves where the catfish bites
E7
Skipping rocks on it
Sit and talk on it
A
We drank so much that we could walk on it
D Bm
It's all I've ever known
G
Yeah it's where I'm supposed to be
Bm G
And I swear that God made
E A D
Muddy water for me
D
I wouldn't know it standing on the shore
Bm G
But it's holy underneath
Bm G
And I swear and God made
E A D
Muddy water for me

[Verse]
D
In a world of "I don't knows" I can find my way home
Bm G
Where the red dirt mixes with rain
Bm G
'Cause it's only gonna flow one way
Em A D
Like the blood running through my veins

[Break]
G
Now I've seen the ocean from a hotel room
D
It's a little too salty a little too blue
E7
For me
Now all I need
A A7
Is to drift away down some no name stream
[Chorus]
D
It's all I've ever known
Bm G
And it's where I'm supposed to be
Bm G
And I swear that God made
Em A D
Muddy water for me
D
I wouldn't know it standing on the shore
Bm G
But it's holy underneath
Bm G
And I swear and God made

Muddy water for me

Ooooooh won't you take me on down to the muddy water
[Chorus]

It's all I've ever known

And I swear that God made

And one day when I get called home

Be a path to the creek

'Cause I swear God made

Muddy water-er for me

There'll be a path to the creek
'Cause I swear God made
Muddy water for me
