In this misty bayou In a broken down shack by the way Im smokin my last cigarette Ive been sittin on the porch all day My baby drove up country Took the Areostream and my truck Im here to tell you Im feelin pretty down on my luck CHORUS Swamp Rat Blues, Swamp Rat Blues Thats just what Im feeling Swamp Rat Blues Ive got mud on my fingers Ive got sludge in my heart Ive got goop on my guitar My hands cant get the chords to start Yes Ive been tryin To get all my ducks in a row But one things for certain My lifes never been so low CHORUS Swamp Rat Blues, Swamp Rat Blues Thats just what Im feeling Swamp Rat Blues MIDDLE 8
I wanna go back to Cabo And spill tequila on my shoes I wanna slip in the bottle And wash away these swamp rat blues How could she leave me here To face this world all alone I hopin and prayin Shell turn around and come back home Troubles finds me They stick to me like these old tattoos From morning till night time Im fighting with these swamp rat blues CHORUS Swamp Rat Blues, Swamp Rat Blues Thats just what Im feeling Swamp Rat Blues Move over rats Theres a new rat droppin in Is there room, on that mud floor For just one more? I thought so Got anything to eat down here?
