Mud in my veins 2（バージョン2）

Verse 1 – male vocal

Mud in my veins where the streetlights used to gleam

Sneakers squeaking on the wet cement dream

Dust from a thousand tires, smoke from a million screens

I was built for this, I got it written in my seams

Graffiti faded but still there on my mind

Every pothole's a story, every puddle's gold

My knees remember running 'fore I learned to be old

Pre-Chorus

Hold up, hold up, ain't no need to hurry

Look how far we come from dirty to glory

This is mine, this is mine

Watch it wash away like the rain that got me here

Chorus – layered ad-libs

Mud in my veins, mud in my veins

Mud in my veins, I still got that same strain

Streetlight gold on my collarbone

Mud in my veins, I still call this home

Watch it wash away like the rain that got me here

Still got my feet on the sidewalk where we used to be

Verse 2 – male vocal

Chain-link fence turned into a mural now

Folks point and smile 'cause they know how I moved around

Same brick, same sun, but the color's changed a shade

I learned how to keep it real when the whole world's made of shade

Concrete remembers every single fall

Every scar on my palm where the pavement used to draw them all

Now I get paid to walk in the rain

Not runnin' from it no more, I'm runnin' through it again

Pre-Chorus

Hold up, hold up, ain't no need to hurry

Look how far we come from dirty to glory

This is mine, this is mine

Watch it wash away like the rain that got me here

Chorus – layered ad-libs

Mud in my veins, mud in my veins

Mud in my veins, I still got that same strain

Streetlight gold on my collarbone

Mud in my veins, I still call this home

Watch it wash away like the rain that got me here

Still got my feet on the sidewalk where we used to be

Bridge – raspy baritone

No need to rinse it clean

Just let the river keep rollin' through me

I don't want no cleaner block

Give me this same old dirt, give it back to me

This ain't just a stain, this is who I'm made of

Every puddle's gold and I won't trade for nothing

Chorus – layered ad-libs

Mud in my veins, mud in my veins

Mud in my veins, I still got that same strain

Streetlight gold on my collarbone

Mud in my veins, I still call this home

Watch it wash away like the rain that got me here

Still got my feet on the sidewalk where we used to be

Outro

So watch it wash away like the rain that got me here

Still got my feet on the sidewalk where we used to be

Mud in my veins...
