Dennis Ledbetter - Face Down in the Mud Lyrics

FACE DOWN IN THE MUD AND FALLING FURTHER DOWN - C

(Intro)

(Chorus)

Face down in the mud

And falling further down

Trying to claw my way

Back up to holy ground

The wages of sin

Are the pathway to dead

I need to put more Jesus

Into my life instead

I'm Face down in the mud

And falling further down

(Solo)

(Spoken Verse)

The story of my life

Has been pain and regret

Surviving by whatever means

From sun up to sun set

As I struggle to become

The better man I want to be

I need to choose less whiskey

And more getting down on my knees

(Chorus)

Face down in the mud

And falling further down

Trying to claw my way

Back up to holy ground

The wages of sin

Are the pathway to dead

I need to put more Jesus

Into my life instead

I'm Face down in the mud

And falling further down

(Turn Around)

(Verse-Sing)

Then one day, out of nowhere

Comes an angel with some news

The only way out of here my friend

Look in the mirror and face the truth

When you trip and fall in life

From pain, trouble and neglect

If you don't get yourself back up

You'll end up a tangled mess

Face down in the mud

And falling further down

(Chorus)

Face down in the mud

And falling further down

Trying to claw my way

Back up to holy ground

The wages of sin

Are the pathway to dead

I need to put more Jesus

Into my life instead

Face down in the mud

And falling further down

(Tag)

Face down in the mud

And falling further down

Face down in the mud

And falling further down
