Undertow Lyrics

I've got wild lightning running through my veins

Thunder rolling like a runaway train

The tracks tell stories; so many miles of my pain

Lord, have mercy, I let you down again

And I've got wild lightning running through my veins

I've got grief growing down in my bones

The body aches and my soul moans

Can't find no comfort. I've got a shakin' jones

I'm a long gone story, like an old tombstone

When I've got grief growing down in my bones

Take me home I am ready. Sooth my soul, it's just a kiss

I'm not drowning. I'm not swimming. Into the undertow, I'll slip

I've got rye whiskey making my heartbeat

Burns my throat. Breath like desert heat

Stirs me all up. The current is deep

where this roaring river and the ocean meet

Cause I've got rye whiskey making my heartbeat

Take me home I am ready. Sooth my soul, it's just a kiss

I'm not drowning. I'm not swimming. Into the undertow, I'll slip

This misery, buried in my blood

is family history thick as delta mud

Wraps me in its arms with a mother's love

And whispers in my ear "Have you had enough?"

Of this misery buried in our blood

Take me home I am ready. Sooth my soul, it's just a kiss

I'm not drowning. I'm not swimming. Into the undertow, I'll slip
