Landed in the Mud Songtext
von Beaver Nelson

The moon it was a liftin′, but the rockets all was duds
I heard the angels singin', but I had to wear earplugs
All my money on a second-place finish, a fine Arabian stud
I jumped across the river, but I landed in the mud

A dozen women dancin′, but thirteen not for me
My sins they are a standin' in a row called history
Any fool could tell you that the wise men all was buzzed
I jumped across the river, but I landed in the mud

Muddy shoes, muddy water
Muddy son of a dead man's daughter
Black heart, black night
Black hole won′t let out the light
Black hole won′t let out the light


I added all my own salt, the sugar was for free
Comin's all my own fault, but goin′s usually destiny
The radio it won't play nothin′ but fuzz
I jumped across the river, but I landed in the mud

Muddy shoes, muddy water
Muddy son of a dead man's daughter
Black heart, black night
Black hole won′t let out the light
Black hole won't let out the light

Givin' costs you somethin′, takin′ is for me
Loves they are for jugglin' right around authority
Oh, you almost fit me like a brand new pair of gloves
I jumped across the river, but I landed in the mud
I jumped across the river, but I landed in the mud
