[Verse 1]
Born in the mire where the cattails choke,
A whiskey bottle cradle, and the sky wore smoke.
The devil pulled up, said, "Boy, let’s drink,"
We did shot for shot 'til I couldn't think.
[Prechorus]
And the moon, she grinned,
While the sins poured in.
[Chorus]
Oh, born in the mire, baptized in flame,
A poet with no master, no rules, no shame.
The whiskey runs deeper than the blood in my veins,
A rebel by fire, unbound by chains.
[Verse 2]
Lilith came calling in a dress of black,
She whispered in my ear, there’s no turning back.
Her lips tasted sweet, but her love was war,
Left me with a scar, and I begged for more.
[Prechorus]
And the stars burned low,
Where the wild winds blow.
[Chorus]
Oh, born in the mire, baptized in flame,
A poet with no master, no rules, no shame.
The whiskey runs deeper than the blood in my veins,
A rebel by fire, unbound by chains.
