Backwoods Soul
Just as soon as I's old enough to know the difference
Mama baptized me at the Black Water Baptist Church
I came up for air with good intentions
But I still got a little muddy water on my shirt
I like the taste of whiskey and I keep a bible with me
A common man in a complicated world
I'm a walking contradiction, a little fact and fiction
A product of the seeds my people sowed
It's reflected in my music if I like it then I'll use it
Country, Gospel, Blues and Rock n Roll
I'm a backwood's soul
Sat in church and sang on Sunday morning
With a worn out voice from a gig on Saturday night
From Amazing Grace and Rock of Ages
To Brick House, Back In Black, I Walk The Line
Like a big old pot of gumbo what's all in there I don't know
But when you serve it up man it sure tastes good
I'm a walking contradiction, a little fact and fiction
A product of the seeds my people sowed
It's reflected in my music if I like it then I'll use it
Country, Gospel, Blues and Rock n Roll
I'm a backwood's soul
I'm a walking contradiction, a little fact and fiction
A product of the seeds my people sowed
It's reflected in my music if I like it then I'll use it
Country, Gospel, Blues and Rock n Roll
I'm a backwood's soul
What other people call it I don't know
I call it backwoods soul
