Made By The Mud

There's a man who was made by the mud
Bathed in the same river he was baptized
Small house big family
Worked hard in the fields for some cornerstone candy
Daddy was a drunk
Mama was a saint
Daddy never drank on the weekdays
Til the weekend came
Hide the guns in the house
It'll be OK cause
Daddy put mama through hell
Mama always said she fell
Ain't have time to figure it out
It was time to be the man of the house
Mama was tough as nails
Daddy spent the night in jail
Had to learn how to knock back down
When daddy came back around
Dark thoughts at a young age
Will God forgive me maybe kill a man
The black and blues in his mama's eyes
If it happens again
Well that'll be the last time
Daddy was a drunk
Mama was a saint
Daddy never drank on the weekdays
Til the weekend came
Hide the guns in the house
It'll be OK cause
Daddy put mama through hell
Mama always said she fell
Ain't have time to figure it out
It was time to be the man of the house
Mama was tough as nails
Daddy spent the night in jail
Had to learn how to knock back down
When daddy came back around
Daddy put mama through hell
Mama always said she fell
Ain't have time to figure it out
It was time to be the man of the house
Mama was tough as nails
Daddy spent the night in jail
Had to learn how to knock back down
When daddy came back around
