Randall S. Clopton - Back to the Mud Lyrics

I never thought that I was meant for anything
Just wanted to get by as best I can
But I lost myself somewhere along the way
And in my place I left a broken shell of a man

Now all that's left of me is battered and broken
With this affliction running through my blood
Bound tight and tossed out like detritus
Deep in the gutter wanting to go back to the mud

I need a distraction
From all that is holding me down
I don't need compassion
The only thing I want

Is to be free, so free
Just free, so free

I made a choice and now I need to get away
So I don't have to suffer this abuse
I'm waiting for someone to show me a better way
But for the moment I have justified my excuse

It's not the coward's way from where I'm standing
It's just another way to get this done
Who cares how I realize my motives
All that's important is that I should just be gone

I've levied my sentence
To return back to the mud
No pointless repentance
It's time to break the ground

Just to be free, so free
Just free, so free

I can't save my soul
I walk this road alone
I look into the light
Lord, I'm coming home

I'm floating, falling
Soaring, then tumbling down
And gliding straight through the ground

And I'm free, so free
Yes I'm free, so free
I'm free, so free
I'm free, so free
