Mud on Ya
(Writers: Erica Ellis, Jason Metzner)
(Lyric and melody by us, demo done in Suno)

(Verse 1)
We were kicking up dust walking those rows
Digging down here and there fixin’ old fence posts
Gramps could tell there’s some kinda hell 
I was carrying and not hidin’ well
He wiped the sweat from his brow and said 
“Come on out with it”

(Pre-Chours)
(I said) It’s ten years since our wedding
Not sure we’ll make it to eleven
Thought our love would be forever
Like you and grandma have… he said

   (Chorus)
   You can’t rope a steer without getting dirty
   Work a field without caked-up boots 
   Can’t lay slab without movin’ earth and
   To pull them weeds gotta grab some roots
   You can’t just wish it, gotta get right down in it 
   If you wanna fight for this love gonna
   Get some mud on ya 

(Verse 2)
He said I know it looks easy from the outside in 
But after fifty years I’ve learned, you take the losses with the wins
Yeah, you fight, ask forgiveness
Break her heart and then ya fix it
And love her even when you think you can’t
Just start right where you stand

   (Chorus)
   You can’t rope a steer without getting dirty
   Work a field without caked-up boots 
   Can’t lay slab without movin’ earth and
   To pull them weeds gotta grab some roots
   You can’t just wish it, gotta get right down in it 
   If you wanna fight for this love gonna
   Get some mud on ya

(Bridge)
Anything worth getting done 
Gonna get you into some kinda messes
But they’ll wind up blessings

   (Chorus)
   You can’t rope a steer without getting dirty
   Work a field without caked-up boots 
   Can’t lay slab without movin’ earth and
   To pull them weeds gotta grab some roots
   You can’t just wish it, gotta get right down in it 
   If you wanna fight for this love gonna
   Get some mud on ya
