Black Water and the gators calling me home I've got an axe to grind on an old dark stone Seems things don't change no matter how long you run My skin still burns under that sour orange sun Chorus: I've been gone for too long Black waters been coming on strong I've been missing my home Back roads and I won't be long I've been gone for too long Black waters been coming on strong I've been missing my home Back roads and I won't be long Spiders still live over the bed I rest They wait for me while I confess A two by four and a forty yard swing I'll never miss the punished scream Chorus Stranded out in the middle of the sea Won't some one come and carry me I lost myself in the shadow of the sun A broken soul is never undone Chorus
