Iron Roots Muddy Water - Levi Stoker

Born in the bottom
Where the cypress grows tall
Learning how to stand
Before I learn how to crawl
The river is a thief and the land is a lie
But I'm carved out of hickory and due to defy
The rain came down and took the porch
And the gate
Left me standing in the corner
With a heavy-handed fate
They say give it up son
Let the tide take the load
But I'm the only living thing left on this road
Oh I've got iron roots
And muddy water in my veins
I'm the spirit of the levee breaking through the chain
You can flood the valley you can drown the town
But you're gonna need a mountain just to pin me down
Yeah I'm a world keep pushing
But I'm angered 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
Tryin' to reap a harvest they never had sown
But I've been down here in the dark and the muck
Depending on my callous hits
And never on the
My hands are stained black
By the work and the grease
Trading all my comfort
Just to find a little peace
There's a powder in the struggle
That the wealthy never knew
When the water stops rising
I'm the one coming through
'Cause I've got iron roots
Muddy water in my veins
I'm the spirit of a levee
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 make it in the cave
I'm a slough burning fire that won't fade away
High in the moon 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 rank what was made in the cold
Still got my soul
Yeah I got orange
Dirty water in my veins
I'm a steering of a levee
Breaking through the chains
You can flood the valley
You can drown the town
But you're going in a mountain
Just to pin me down
Yeah the world keeps pushing
But I make it in the play
I'm a slow burning fire that won't fade away
I lose muddy water
I'm here to stay
Deep in the clay
In muddy water
Still here
