lyrics

There’s a cottonmouth sunnin’ on my back porch
My wicker rocking chair is stuck beneath the stairs
Underwater in my hometown And I’m up here in TN watching family wade for momma’s wedding gown

Oooh she’s whistling
Oooh she’s twisting on you
Oooh she’s a-coming for, she’s a-coming for you.

Not the only one in the attic’s a mad woman
She’s got her pictures in her boxes, got your name on her locket
And its floating down the bayou to downtown
And I’m up here in TN watching my family wade for my momma’s wedding gown

Oooh she’s whistling
Oooh she’s twisting on you
Oooh she’s a-coming for, she’s a-coming for you.

Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing this grace
Cause this one washed away all that I ever had to say
