Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] The rain's been talking in a low Slow drawl Whispering secrets through the puddles that fall The barn's got a moat The fields are lakes The road's a river that a truck can't take [Prechorus] We’re stuck in a painting All brown and gray Waiting Just waiting For the mud to go away [Chorus] When the mud goes away Will it still feel the same Will the sun paint the world with its golden flame We’ve been hemmed up for days Can’t find no escape Please lord Just please Let this mud go away [Verse 2] The porch is creaking Singing its own tune Boots by the door Caked thick like glue The dog’s tail wagging Slaps a soggy beat But no one’s walking down this drowned-out street [Prechorus] The earth holds tight It won’t let go The tires just spin Like they don’t have a place to go [Chorus] When the mud goes away Will it still feel the same Will the dust ever rise from the roads again We’ve been hemmed up for days Like a song on replay Please lord Just please Let this mud go away
