G F C
My daddy died when I was just a child, wasn't two months later, momma's runnin' wild
G F C
She had her way with the low rent type, fella who likes to drink and fight
G F C
I hoped like hell it was a passin' thing, before too long she was wearin' his ring
G F C F
Tried our best to keep it hid, we're still wearin' the scars from the things he did
Chorus:
F G
You think you're a mighty tough man but I beg to differ
F G
There's a promise made and I plan to keep and I'm hell bent on deliverin'
F C F C G
I'm gonna wash your sins away without the cut of a blade or the sound of a trigger
F C G
As I watch your body fade to the bottom of the muddy river
He'd come home late, drunk and mean, in the dark of the night you could hear her scream
With a heavy hand, a fist like lead, I promised her that I'd see him dead
Me and momma we had to plan, he'd be gone when I was a man ????
Still too young to set us free but I can feel the hate build up in me
Chorus
Solo
Turned 18, I got me a job workin' on a riverboat pushing logs
He's 'bout to get everything he's due, well me and mommas plan is a-coming true
Cinder blocks and a borrowed chain, draggin him down, see him scream my name
Oh big muddy, take control, oh big muddy won't you weigh his soul
Chorus
Solo outro
