Muddy Water Lyrics

The lyrics of “Muddy Water” tell a story of redemption that rings too true with Trace Adkins and his fans.

Muddy Water Lyrics:
Eighteen wheeler dropped me off at that city limits sign
Sunday morning sunlight hurt my eyes
It’s a long way from where I been back to my hometown
But there’s a man in me I need to drown

Baptize me in that muddy water
Wash me clean in amazing grace
I ain’t been living like I ‘aughta
Baptize me in that muddy water

Made my way to the church at the end of the dirt road
Dragging what was left of my soul
I could see the saints out back on the river bank
And I could hear forgiveness calling out my name

Baptize me in that muddy water
Wash me clean in amazing grace
I ain’t been living like I ‘aughta, no
So baptize me in that muddy water

Baptize me in that muddy water
Wash me clean in amazing grace
I ain’t been living like I ‘aughta, no
Baptize me in that muddy water

Baptize me in that muddy water
Yeah, wash me clean in that muddy water, water
In that muddy water
Baptize me

Muddy Water: Comeback
Trace Adkins shot to Country stardom with “(This Ain’t No) Thinkin’ Thing”, and his signature baritone voice made the big man a quick favorite of Country fans. The promising career was derailed a few albums later and Trace Adkins dropped off the Country map. Trace Adkins fought through these personal demons and returned to the top of Country music with song “Chrome”. This battle and eventual comeback had a formative effect on the music of Trace Adkins and is a big inspiration behind 2008 single “Muddy Water”.
