Shit Creek Lyrics - Remedy - Old Crow Medicine Show

She said take your trouble to the river 

Let the muddy water wash it away 

If the truth don't float back up to the top 

You can bid our love good day 

So I took to the edge, 

I dove on in, 

The current went and stole me away 

Rocks and gravel I ain't got a paddle 

To dig my dying grave 

See a trail of tears come trickling down 

Where the water's got a bitter taste 

My heart is heavy and my boots ain't steady 

And the waves keep slapping my face 

I can hear her voice in the howling rain 

Saying it's sink or it's swim 

But the deed's all done I'm going down 

And I won't be back again 

(Chorus) God damn this river 

And its wandering ways 

And the love we made 

Was shallow indeed 

I'm sinking like a ship I'm a runaway devil 

And I ain't got a paddle 

Going up shit creek 

There's a bend up ahead by the dead bulrushes 

Where the cottonmouth coil and play 

I've been floating by levies and rusted out Chevys 

For now on fifteen days 

In the fog, in the moon, in the Mississippi mud 

Everywhere I see her face 

But I'm only a pebble in the belly of the devil 

In a godforsaken place
