[Verse 1]
I know where the ground gives way
Whole road gone with the rain
Old fence bent by the ditch
Muck breath and a white-eyed pit
Pig farm hum in the heat
Mud on the boots, blood on the sheet
Mama said, “Boy, choose your side”
When the water run black, don’t lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I seen that deep creep slow
Pull a man down, let him know
Some ties cut clean, some don’t
Some mouths pray, some mouths won’t
[Chorus]
Plenty of sinkholes
Plenty of sinkholes
Hold your step now, hold your soul
Dark water runs deep, deep, deep
Plenty of sinkholes
Plenty of sinkholes
(Plenty of sinkholes)
If you go too close, you sink, you sink
[Verse 2]
Chain-link sag by the pen
Sound of them hogs again
Barn roof thin like a lie
Moon hung low in the bruise-blue sky
I keep one eye on the lane
One on the things I can’t explain
If blood is thicker, then why
Does it wash off every time?
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I seen that deep creep slow
Pull a man down, let him know
Some ties cut clean, some don’t
Some mouths pray, some mouths won’t
[Chorus]
Plenty of sinkholes
Plenty of sinkholes
Hold your step now, hold your soul
Dark water runs deep, deep, deep
Plenty of sinkholes
Plenty of sinkholes
(Plenty of sinkholes)
If you go too close, you sink, you sink
[Bridge]
Lord, keep my feet on the high ground
Keep my name out that low sound
I hear the mud call back my name
Same old trap, different shame
[Chorus]
Plenty of sinkholes
Plenty of sinkholes
Hold your step now, hold your soul
Dark water runs deep, deep, deep
Plenty of sinkholes
Plenty of sinkholes
(Plenty of sinkholes)
If you go too close, you sink, you sink
