The Big Muddy - Bruce Springsteen
    Billy had a mistress down on 'A' and 12th
    She was that little somethin' that he did for himself
    His own little secret didn't hurt nobody
    Come the afternoon he'd take her wadin'

    Waist deep in the big muddy
    Waist deep in the big muddy
    You start out standing but end up crawlin'

    Got in some trouble and needed a hand from a friend of mine
    This old friend he had a figure in mind
    It was nothing illegal just a little bit funny
    He said "C'mon don't tell me that the rich don't know
    Sooner or later it all comes down to money"

    And you're waist deep in the big muddy
    Waist deep in the big muddy
    You start on higher ground but end up crawlin'

    Well I had a friend said "You watch what you do
    Poison snake bites you and you're poison too"

    How beautiful the river flows and the birds they sing
    But you and I we're messier things
    There ain't no one leavin' this world buddy
    Without their shirttail dirty
    Or their hands bloody

    Waist deep in the big muddy
    Waist deep in the big muddy
    You start on higher ground but end up somehow crawlin'
    Waist deep in the big muddy
