lyrics

I think I may take off my shoes
The rains have made the swamp rise to my knees
And if I'm gonna catch him,
And I'm gonna catch him
The last thing I wanna do is freeze
Yeah, there's something in these backwoods

My daddy always said it'd be as easy
As nailing Jell-O to the wall
And my Momma said, yes
Momma said
Don't expect me to just sit around and watch you fall

Well I ain't got much but I got a big gun
I ain't got much but I got a big gun
I guess that's why I never learned how to run
I ain't got much but I got a big gun

Be very, very quiet
There's something circling my feet
And I won't lie, it normally wins
Reaches up and easily drowns me
But this time I'm not going down without a fight
