Cottonmouth Country

Far away from the interstate
Deep in Clayton county
Where the moss hangs like curtains 
And they still sell nickel candy
That's the place I love best
Where the river runs through the Cypress 

That's cottonmouth, cottonmouth country
Where life is simple and free
Where people say aloud what they care about 
Home and faith and family
I'm swampland riverboat proud
In cottonmouth country, yeah 

Well, Joey caught an eight-pound catfish
And he gave it away
To Dwayne who lives out by the furnace trail
Who lost his job yesterday
Hey, sometimes we get in hot water
But we do our best to take care of each other

In cottonmouth, cottonmouth country
Where life is simple and free
Where people say aloud what they care about 
Home and faith and family
I'm swampland riverboat proud
In cottonmouth country

That's where I was baptized in tea colored water
Where I feel stronger, where I stand up taller

That's cottonmouth, cottonmouth country
Where I've got friends who'd die for me
And I can say aloud what I care about 
Home and faith and family
I'm as proud as the snakes swimmin round
In cottonmouth country, yeah
Cottonmouth country
