Cottonmouth glides death in the water
Heron takes to flight
No matter the bass ain’t biting
He’s got the devil on his mind, got the devil on his mind
Still waters run deep, still waters run deep
Out on his flat boat, deep in the bayou
Crazy thoughts keep him company
Race through his mind like wildfire
Like in dreams in the night, like in dreams in the night
Still waters run deep, still waters run deep
Wife and kids chatter like birds
He hates being at home
Sits and stares in his favorite chair
Drinks til he’s hard as a stone, hard as stone
Hard as a stone
Still waters run deep, still waters run deep
Nobody ever really knew him him
Kept to himself most the time
They found his family floating in the bayou
Shock and surprise, no understanding why
A good neighbor, real quiet guy
Still waters run deep, still waters run deep
