Muddy Springs Road

WI hate to hear that screen door slammin´

It's hard for me to say good-bye

Can't stand to think about leavin´

I sure hate to see my momma cry

Born and raised a delta child

Took off runnin´ and got real wild

Used to spend my nights down across the tracks

Where the whiskey was white and the blues was black

No matter where I've been or where I go

My heart is never far from old Muddy Springs

Muddy Springs Road

I fell in with the Hoodoo Man

Put his guitar in my hands

Said "Cat you were born to play the blues

It's in your blood that's what you'll do"

The sun is hot and the sugar cane grows high

And the cotton mouth don't think before he strikes

I take these memories with me when I go

I miss my home down Muddy Springs Road

Momma sittin´ on the front porch swinging

Sings a lonesome lullaby

Daddy come and puts his arms around her

Says "Son do you have to say good-bye?"

Well you know I've been a lot of places

And you know I´ll always sing the blues

But Momma every road I travel down

Is gonna bring me home to you

The sun is hot and the sugar cane grows high

And the cotton mouth don't think before he strikes

I take these memories with me when I go

I miss my home down Muddy Springs Road
