Well I’m standin’ all alone
By the river of my home
Thinkin’ ’bout the days I’ve left behind
All the years I rode
Not a nickel can I show
And the river helps to ease my worried mind
Well the river run all night
Lord, the river runs all day
I can’t run no more ’cause I’m here to stay
I had an eye for trouble
And I’ve lived a life of pain
I sit back and let that water heal my brain
I’m letting go of all my trouble
I think I’ll be right here to stay
Well the water keeps a-churnin’ while my poor heart is burnin’
Muddy water, take my pain away
Well one thing I want to know
Lord, is where we people go
When everything comes crashin’ to the ground
Meet me at the creek
Grab a beer and tap your feet
See that muddy water flowin’ down
I’m letting go of all my trouble
I think I’ll be right here to stay
Well the water keeps a-churnin’ while my poor heart is burnin’
Muddy water, take my pain away
Well I’m standin’ all alone
By the river of my home
Thinkin’ ’bout the days I’ve left behind
All the years I rode
Not a nickel can I show
And the river helps to ease my worried mind
I’m letting go of all my trouble
I think I’ll be right here to stay
Well the water keeps a-churnin’ while my poor heart is burnin’
Muddy water, take my pain away
Muddy water, take my pain away
