Well I'm standin' all alone
By the river of my home
Thinkin' 'bout the days I've left behind
All the years I roamed
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 will 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
