I Am The Swamp

(álbum: Allowed To Be Loud - 2011)

I'm twelve foot four, weigh half a ton
This is my swamp, you don't want none, son
I am the swamp
I've ruled this bank for forty long years
Wannabe tough guys biggest fears, that's me
I am the swamp
Missing half a foot, got a scarred up back
From a couple of poachers with a sneak attack
I am the swamp
One got away, but I held his friend
And I promise he will never be seen again, that's right
I am the swamp

So whatcha gonna do when I'm right up on ya?
Whatcha gonna do when you cross my path?
If you wanna fight I'll be waiting for ya
If you're feeling brave come take your chance
'Cause I am the swamp

I grew up in the swamps over half my life
I walked through the mud holding nothing but a pocketknife
Yeah boy, I am the swamp
There's a couple of dens south of Murphy's Creek
Where the big gators cool in that summer heat
Yeah, I am the swamp
And I've wrestled and tussled, I've hunted on the hustle
I even know a spot by the railroad trestle
I told ya, I am the swamp
This ol' river is mine, it's my second home
If you don't know it like a Brahma Bull then you better go home
Why? 'Cause I am the swamp

So whatcha gonna do when I'm right up on ya? (I'll make a wallet out of you)
Whatcha gonna do when you cross my path? (I be needing some boots)
If you wanna fight I'll be waiting for ya (I'll break the bush with your teeth)
If you're feeling brave come take your chance (I'm the swamp 'round here)
'Cause I am the swamp

Here I come got you on the run
Call it what you want boy I call it blunt
See you on this bank never such a while
And I been tracking you boy since I was a child
I got plenty of shells and some alligator boots
Make a deal with you, it's a redneck truce
Leave my beefer alone just swim away
And I won't make a wallet out of you today

So whatcha gonna do when I'm right up on ya? (I done told you man)
Whatcha gonna do when you cross my path? (I run this old swamp land)
If you wanna fight I'll be waiting for ya (Go on swim away)
If you're feeling brave come take your chance (It's your lucky day)
'Cause I am the swamp
