Mud On My Good Shoes

[Intro]

[gritty guitar lick

3 seconds]

Mm-hmm

(it's thick out here)

[Verse 1]

Sweat on my collar

Red clay on my tongue

Mama said "boy

That river

Gon' drag you if you run"

Card in my wallet

Name on that barroom wall

I keep sayin' I'm leavin'

But that door don't move at all

[Chorus]

Got mud on my good shoes

Heart on my bad side

Whiskey in my veins sayin'

"Let that hurt slide" (oh, let it ride)

If lovin' you is wrong

Girl

Guess I'm built to lose

Stuck knee-deep in you

Babe

And this mud on my good shoes

[Verse 2]

Your laugh like Sunday

Your eyes like Friday night

You burn me in the kitchen

Then you bless me 'fore I bite

You slam that screen door

I hear the hounds all bark

You say

"you ain't gone yet?"

I say

"I'm tryin'

But it's dark"

[Chorus]

Got mud on my good shoes

Heart on my bad side

Whiskey in my veins sayin'

"Let that hurt slide" (yeah, yeah)

If lovin' you is wrong

Girl

Guess I'm built to lose

Stuck knee-deep in you

Babe

And this mud on my good shoes

[Bridge]

Every time I cross that line

You draw it deeper in the dust

You kiss me like a promise

Then you break me for the rush (oh)

I keep my bag by the doorway

Keys rattlin' like chains

But your voice in my veins

Callin' me back again

[Chorus]

Got mud on my good shoes

Heart on my bad side

Whiskey in my veins sayin'

"Let that hurt slide" (let it slide)

If lovin' you is wrong

Girl

Guess I'm born to lose

Draggin' soul and blues

Babe

With this mud on my good shoes

[Outro]

[band drops to half-time

Horns swell]

Mud on my good shoes

Your name on my bruise

(yeah, yeah)
