Well, I can’t seem to reconcile my raising with all the things I’ve done
And how does a man change if there’s nothing new under the sun
And I don’t know if I’m cursed or if it’s all in my mind
But if I don’t jump in, the creek gonna rise

Ocmulgee moon
Won’t you shine so bright
Hold me under ‘til the morning light
I can’t escape the reaper
You can’t outrun these hounds
But this ol’ boy’s got a fighting chance with feet in muddy ground

Well, I never meant to hurt nobody but the devil’s got his ways (yes, he does)
And there’s a house of God on every corner, but I still got led astray
And there’s still a good man living way down deep
If I can raise him from the river bed, we can walk out clean

Ocmulgee moon
Won’t you shine so bright
Hold me under ‘til the morning light
I can’t escape the reaper
I can’t outrun those hounds
But this ol’ boy’s got a fighting chance with feet in muddy ground

Ocmulgee moon, yeah
Ocmulgee moon
Won’t you shine so bright
Hold me down ‘til the morning light
I can’t escape the reaper
I can’t outrun those hounds
But this ol’ boy’s got a fighting chance with feet in your muddy ground

In your muddy ground, in your muddy ground
Just gotta make it to the morning light
Hold me under
Shine Ocmulgee moon
Shine Ocmulgee moon, all night long
Push me down, hold me under
Oh, Ocmulgee Moon
Whoa, yeah
Push me down
Push me into your waters
Let me run your banks
