Holy Water Lyrics - Artist : Charlie Farley
Down on possum creek the tensions high
'Cause the chopper's 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 in this holy water It was a warm summer night, I left with a whip of wheels I kissed my woman goodbye then I headed out to the steep That Maglite lit the path right through the back of the field I been there long enough to make enough money for beets I cooked a batch, y'all had to sip and sat next to that copper Just breathing in the night air, forgetting all my problems It's when I heard the sounds coming down that holler Shots ring 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 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 were but they didn't know I was here I cut my Maglite off, walked to the porch, pulled my steel This is my house and I got more than time to kill I looked through the window, seen Becky tied up with that broke That's when they heard them sounds and smelled the smoke Yeah, I sank that whiskey barrel and them bones don't float, singing Yeah, I sank that whiskey whiskey whiskey barrel and them bones don't Shots ring 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 You'll find hell in this holy water You'll find hell in this holy water Yeah Yeah Yeah Down on possum creek the tensions high 'Cause the chopper's flying fairly low Brother, you won't find redemption Down here in this holy water |
