Mud Lyrics by Demun Jones
Four buckets of sand, one bucket of water
Throw it in the mixer on top of a bag of mortar
Spin for five minutes in the wheel barrel done
Put it on the motor board now that’s mud
The battle boards was up before the sun was
I got the transit bubble humming like a bees buzz
The line’s are level so tight u could pop a note
My 4 footer square shovel and a hand float
Check dimensions with the X sides front and back
Plumb it down paint it bright they like it like that
The back hoe’s on the site and while they unstrap
The morning coffee just hit me I’ll be right back
Got my stick, measured marked ready yeah to shoot a grade
Soon as we hit the elevation give the OK
Set the bulk heads drive all the grade stakes
Call the truck back em up it’s time to get paid
That’s four buckets of sand, one bucket of water
Throw it in the mixer on top of a bag of mortar
Spin for five minutes in the wheel barrel done
Put it on the motor board now that’s mud
Hit the step grades first and let them set
Pour the ditches, slow and steady just a little wet
Pull it down find the rebar with the come along
Float the surface slick and shiney like an iPhone
Once it dries plumb in down again and pop a line
Clear coat in case it rains you can still find
The flatbed full of 8’s pulled up on time
Soon as the cube hits the ground it’s build a lead time
I need four buckets of sand, one bucket of water
Throw it in the mixer on top of a bag of mortar
Spin for five minutes in the wheel barrel done
Put it on the motor board now that’s mud
Twist a bag a little stiff so it can hold em up
Check the height with the stick rule and fold it up
I’m on the trowel cross examine straighten rinse repeat
Corner blocks bond marks every 4 feet man
You gotta use the tools this here ain’t no guessing game
Pretty close ain’t good enough when it’s your daddy’s name
Once you top all the walls stand back and look
Clean the mixer
A picture perfect job in the books
That’s four buckets of sand, one bucket of water
Throw it in the mixer on top of a bag of mortar
Spin for five minutes in the wheel barrel done
Put it on the motor board now that’s mud
