Eighteen wheeler dropped me off at that city limits sign 
Sunday morning sunlight hurt my eyes 
It's a long way from where I been back to my home town 
But there's a man in me I need to drown 

Baptize me in that muddy water 
Wash me clean in amazing grace 
I ain't been living like I aughta 
Baptize me in that muddy water 

Made my way to the church at the end of the dirt road 
Dragging what was left of my soul 
I could see the saints out back on the river bank 
And I could hear forgiveness calling out my name 

Baptize me in that muddy water 
Wash me clean in amazing grace 
I ain't living like a aughta, no 
Baptize me in that muddy water 

Baptize me in that muddy water 
Yeah, wash me clean that muddy water, water 
In that muddy water 
Baptize me
