[Verse 1]
I grew up in the ditches of Alabama
Nothing with a little dirt under my nails
I played rough and I got the scars to prove it
'Cause I was taught to always give 'em hell
[Chorus]
I can pray my way to Jesus
I can wear my fancy dress
But there ain't enough revival
To save me from this mess
I can make a million dollars
I can drive down every road
In the end it doesn't matter
'Cause everywhere I go
I'll always be my mother's daughter
My veins run with muddy water
[Verse 2]
I can't help but wonder whеre I'd be now
If I had greener grass undеrneath my feet
Lord Knows there's no changing where you came from
This muddy water's always been a part of me
[Chorus]
I can pray my way to Jesus
I can wear my fancy dress
But there ain't enough revival
To save me from this mess
I can make a million dollars
I can drive down every road
In the end it doesn't matter
'Cause everywhere I go
I'll always be my mother's daughter
My veins run with muddy water
[Bridge]
Can't get clean when it's underneath my skin
Can't wash off what I was born in
[Chorus]
I can pray my way to Jesus
I can wear my fancy dress
But there ain't enough revival
To save me from this mess
I can make a million dollars
I can drive down every road
In the end it doesn't matter
'Cause everywhere I go
I'll always be my mother's daughter
My veins run with muddy water
I grew up in the ditches of Alabama
Nothing with a little dirt under my nails
I played rough and I got the scars to prove it
'Cause I was taught to always give 'em hell
[Chorus]
I can pray my way to Jesus
I can wear my fancy dress
But there ain't enough revival
To save me from this mess
I can make a million dollars
I can drive down every road
In the end it doesn't matter
'Cause everywhere I go
I'll always be my mother's daughter
My veins run with muddy water
[Verse 2]
I can't help but wonder whеre I'd be now
If I had greener grass undеrneath my feet
Lord Knows there's no changing where you came from
This muddy water's always been a part of me
[Chorus]
I can pray my way to Jesus
I can wear my fancy dress
But there ain't enough revival
To save me from this mess
I can make a million dollars
I can drive down every road
In the end it doesn't matter
'Cause everywhere I go
I'll always be my mother's daughter
My veins run with muddy water
[Bridge]
Can't get clean when it's underneath my skin
Can't wash off what I was born in
[Chorus]
I can pray my way to Jesus
I can wear my fancy dress
But there ain't enough revival
To save me from this mess
I can make a million dollars
I can drive down every road
In the end it doesn't matter
'Cause everywhere I go
I'll always be my mother's daughter
My veins run with muddy water
