Backwater Blues Lyrics by Kelsey Waldon

No Regular Dog

2022

[Verse 1]
Be kind to me
Ain't got nobody, ain't got no one to look after me
I didn't choose this life but it chose me
The more the tide rolls in, time rolls away from me
On a river bank
Ain't never taken anything that don't belong to me
But when she decides to return, she'll take everything she sees
A copperhead might strike you dead
Before you've seen anything
[Chorus]
Oh, mama, seems like the water's been 10 feet high
And I just don't understand why it makes me cry
If I can keep it together until the spring
When that damn river runs dry
I'll count my blessings, just like the stars
That are in the sky
[Verse 2]
When it all comes down
I'll be here to clean up and claim my ground
You wouldn't know mother nature's power
If she never made a sound
I can't be too proud, she's got me cryin' out loud
[Chorus]
Oh, mama, seems like the water's been 10 feet high
And I just don't understand why it makes me cry
If I can keep it together until the spring
When that damn river runs dry
I'll count my blessings, just like the stars
That are in the sky
I'll count my blessings, just like the stars
That are in the sky
