Dirt to Mud

As long as my veins are flowing with blood
Sure as the rain
Turns the dirt into mud

As long as there’s blood
In my veins I will search
For as sure the sun
Turns the mud into dirt
I’m gonna hurt

And they say a man in pain
Will prepare to die
They say a man who hurts
Won’t even try

How long does it take
For pain to change to hurt
As long as the sun
turns the mud back to dirt

How long will it take
for the dirt to change with rain
how long will this hurt
choose to remain

As long as my veins are flowing with blood
Sure as the rain
Turns the dirt into mud
