Eighteen wheeler dropped me off at that city limit sign
Sunday morning sunlight hurt my eyes
It's a long way from where I've been back to my hometown
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 oughta
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 a riverbank
And I could hear forgiveness calling out my name

Baptize me in that muddy water
Wash me clean in amazing grace
I ain't been living like I oughta, no
So baptize me in that muddy water

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

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