BLACK WATER
TitanChord
Intro
Mmm-mm…
Verse 1
County road ends at the water now
Used to run another mile
Past the church and Miller's feed store
Past our porch with boards gone white
There was cotton past the fence line
There were dogs beneath the stairs
Now the moon lays flat and silver
Over everything that was there
Black water
Moving slow
Keeping what the dry land
Couldn't hold
Verse 2
I took my boots off at the shoreline
Walked until it reached my knees
Found an old fence post below me
Still standing where it used to be
For a second I could hear us
Running barefoot through July
Then a catfish broke the surface
And the whole damn town went quiet
Bridge
Mama moved north
Daddy stayed
Said he'd leave
When the river changed
River changed
Daddy didn't
Black water
Take it down
Take the porch
Take the fields
Take the whole old town
Black water
You've had your share
But there's some things you can cover
And they're still there
