Ocmulgee Moon

Well, I can't seem to reconcile My raising with all the things I've done And how does a man change If there's nothing new under the sun And I don't know if I'm cursed or if it's all in my mind But if I don't jump in, the creek gonna rise Ocmulgee moon Won't you shine so bright Hold me under 'til the morning light I can't escape the reaper You can't outrun these hounds But this ol' boy's got a fighting chance With feet in muddy ground Well, I never meant to hurt nobody But the devil's got his ways (yes, he does) And there's a house of God on every corner But I still got led astray And there's still a good man living way down deep If I can raise him from the river bed, we can walk out clean Ocmulgee moon Won't you shine so bright Hold me under 'til the morning light I can't escape the reaper I can't outrun those hounds But this ol' boy's got a fighting chance With feet in muddy ground Ocmulgee moon, yeah Ocmulgee moon Won't you shine so bright Hold me down 'til the morning light I can't escape the reaper I can't outrun those hounds But this ol' boy's got a fighting chance With feet in your muddy ground In your muddy ground, in your muddy ground Just gotta make it to the morning light Hold me under Shine Ocmulgee moon Shine Ocmulgee moon, all night long Push me down, hold me under Oh, Ocmulgee Moon Whoa, yeah Push me down Push me into your waters Let me run your banks
