Baptized In Muddy Water
dear grayson capps...
you don't know me
i doubt you ever will
i'm just the nobody
you met at phoenix hill
at the bar before the show
i bought you a brew
i said "i'm a nobody"
you said "i'm a nobody too"
i drove all that way
just to see your show
cause there were things
that you needed to know
i told about my life
and how i used to be
and how your words
inspired changes in me
we parted ways
and you took the stage
i felt honored when
you mentioned my name
"a couple of nobodies"
you said out loud
pointing to me standing
out in the crowd
my pain and sorrow
lead to the slaughter
down to the river
baptized in your muddy water
