Bayou Line

[Verse 1]
Sun comes up
on a rusted truck
Coffee tastes like river mud
and the radio's stuck
Gators in the ditch
preacher on the wire
Sweat on my neck
and my boots in the mire

[Chorus]
Down on the bayou line
where the ground keeps pullin' me back
Got a past like a busted tire
leavin' black marks all down the track
I keep sayin' I'm gonna leave
but the road just circles in time
I'm knee-deep, heart-deep
down on the bayou line (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Old man Luke
says the water talks
Says it knows every sin
from these shotgun shacks and docks
I pour one out
to the ones that stayed
To the hearts gone sour
and the deals we made

[Chorus]
Down on the bayou line
where the ground keeps pullin' me back
Got a past like a busted tire
leavin' black marks all down the track
I keep sayin' I'm gonna leave
but the road just circles in time
I'm knee-deep, heart-deep
down on the bayou line

[Bridge]
Storm rollin' in
sky lookin' mean
Headlights cut
through the Spanish green
I could turn north
I could change my name
But this muddy little strip
knows my shame (oh)

[Chorus]
Down on the bayou line
where the ground keeps pullin' me back
Got a past like a busted tire
leavin' black marks all down the track
I keep sayin' I'm gonna leave
but the road just circles in time
I'm knee-deep, heart-deep
down on the bayou line
Yeah, I'm knee-deep, heart-deep
down on the bayou line
