BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - The Big Muddy lyrics

rate me

Billy had a mistress down on 'A' and 12th

She was that little somethin' that he did for himself

His own little secret didn't hurt nobody

Come the afternoon he'd take her wadin'

Waist deep in the big muddy

Waist deep in the big muddy

You start out standing but end up crawlin'

Got in some trouble and needed a hand from a friend of mine

This old friend he had a figure in mind

It was nothing illegal just a little bit funny

He said "C'mon don't tell me that the rich don't know

Sooner or later it all comes down to money"

And you're waist deep in the big muddy

Waist deep in the big muddy

You start on higher ground but end up crawlin'

Well I had a friend said "You watch what you do

Poison snake bites you and you're poison too"

How beautiful the river flows and the birds they sing

But you and I we're messier things

There ain't no one leavin' this world buddy

Without their shirttail dirty

Or their hands bloody

Waist deep in the big muddy

Waist deep in the big muddy

You start on higher ground but end up somehow crawlin'
