🎤 [Intro – 4 Bars, echoey and soft]

🎵

I close my eyes just to breathe again

But even sleep don’t let me pretend

There’s mud on the boots in my dreamland road

You were there once, now I ride alone

🎵

🎤 [Verse 1 – 8 Bars]

🎵

Used to find peace when the lights went low

Now my mind spins like a rusted show

You in the kitchen, barefoot, hummin’ low

Now you just haunt where the wild things grow

These pillows don’t catch what my heart still bleeds

And blankets don’t cover what your silence feeds

I dig through sleep for a place to rest

But even dreams wear your Sunday dress

🎵

🎤 [Chorus – 8 Bars, atmospheric melody]

🎵

There’s mud in my dreams where the flowers should bloom

Your laugh echoes like a ghost in the room

Tried to build peace in a field of flames

But you come back wearin’ someone else’s name

I wake up shakin’ like I saw the truth

Your touch still burns like a chipped front tooth

The night used to hold me like a song that redeems…

But now there’s just mud in my dreams

🎵

🎤 [Verse 2 – 8 Bars]

🎵

Tried whiskey, tried God, tried changin’ my bed

But nothin' quiets the voice in my head

I see your back turned under that tree

Same place we danced — now it won’t let me be

You said goodbye without sayin’ a word

But the way you vanished — that still hurts

If healing’s a place I ain’t seen the sign

I just keep drivin’ through this dream of mine

🎵

🎤 [Bridge – 4 Bars, dreamy falsetto or harmony-rich]

🎵

I wish I could sleep like I used to before

But now every nap feels like knockin’ on war

You left the sheets, but you stayed in the seams

Buried deep down… in the mud of my dreams

🎵

---

🎤 [Final Chorus – 8 Bars, lifted melody]

🎵

There’s mud in my dreams, it don't wash away

Footprints of love that refused to stay

Every night’s a replay I never choose

Still wearin’ pain like your old perfume

No lullaby in this 2 AM scene

Just heartache dressed in faded jeans

I don’t pray much, but I beg in my sleep

To get you out the mud in my dreams

🎵
