[Intro]
Well, the water came down
And the river ran wide
Mud in the middle
And nowhere to hide
[Verse 1]
I was standing on solid ground
Or so I thought I was
Then the rain came pounding down
And changed the way it does
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh
(Just a stick in the mud)
Don’t you know
(Stuck here after the flood)
Oh, oh, oh
(Just a stick in the mud)
There I go
(Down with the rising flood)
[Verse 2]
Grain by grain
Stone by stone
Raise the strain
Submerged home
[Bridge]
You can call it mud
You can call it flow
You can call it trouble
When you see it go
[Breakdown]
Stick!
(In the mud!)
Slip!
(Into the flood!)
Roll!
(Here we go!)
Goal?
(Do you know)
[Instrumental]
[Dirty piano riff / slide guitar / stomping drums]
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh
(Just a stick in the mud)
Don’t you know
(Stuck here after the flood)
Oh, oh, oh
(Just a stick in the mud)
There I go
(Stuck here after the flood)
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh…
(Just a stick in the mud)
Don’t you know…
(Stuck here after the flood)
Just a stick…
(Just a in the thick…)
Just a stick in the mud.
