G                                                                       F       C
My daddy died when I was just a child, wasn't two months later, momma's runnin' wild
    G                                                       F         C
She had her way with the low rent type, fella who likes to drink and fight
  G                                                               F           C 
I hoped like hell it was a passin' thing, before too long she was wearin' his ring
G                                                                     F      C  F
Tried our best to keep it hid, we're still wearin' the scars from the things he did


Chorus:
F                                                G
You think you're a mighty tough man but I beg to differ
          F                                                    G
There's a promise made and I plan to keep and I'm hell bent on deliverin'
          F               C               F        C                       G
I'm gonna wash your sins away without the cut of a blade or the sound of a trigger
     F                           C                   G 
As I watch your body fade to the bottom of the muddy river



He'd come home late, drunk and mean, in the dark of the night you could hear her scream
With a heavy hand, a fist like lead, I promised her that I'd see him dead
Me and momma we had to plan, he'd be gone when I was a man ????
Still too young to set us free but I can feel the hate build up in me


Chorus


Solo


Turned 18, I got me a job workin' on a riverboat pushing logs
He's 'bout to get everything he's due, well me and mommas plan is a-coming true
Cinder blocks and a borrowed chain, draggin him down, see him scream my name
Oh big muddy, take control, oh big muddy won't you weigh his soul

Chorus

Solo outro
