Down on possum creek
The tensions high because
The choppers flying fairly low
And underneath the canopy
Where the whiskey burns
And the marijuana grows
I can hear the sounds
Of the bloodhounds
Echoing down that Slate Rock Road
But the sheriff won't find no redemption
Down here in this holy water
It was a warm summer night
I left with the whippoorwills
I kissed my woman goodbye
Then I headed out to the still
That mag light lit the path right
Through the back of the field
I'll be there long enough to make
Enough money for bills
I cooked a batch off
Had a sip, then sat
Next to that copper
Just breathing in that night air
Forgetting all my problems
That's when I heard them sounds
Coming down that holler
Shots rang out like church bells ringing
Screams let out like the choir singing
Blood runs cold in the land of my father's father
If you come around here and you're doing wrong
You better believe you're as good as gone
So run and tell your sons and daughters
That you'll find hell in this holy water
I ran back up the path
Towards them screams and squeals
I didn't know who they where
But they didn't know I was here
I cut my mag light off
Walked to the porch
Pulled my steel
This is my house and I've got more than time to kill
I looked through the window
Seen Becky tied up with that rope
That's when they heard them sounds
And smelled the smoke
Yeah I sank that whiskey barrel and them bones don't float
Shots rang out like church bells ringing
Screams let out like the choir singing
Blood runs cold in the land of my father's father
If you come around here and you're doing wrong
You better believe you're as good as gone
So run and tell your sons and daughters
That you'll find hell in this holy water
Down on possum creek
The tensions high because
The choppers flying fairly low
Brother you won't find redemption
Down here in this holy water
