I'm sick of tryin'
And i'm six feet short of dyin' ...
And this world don't care if i'm cryin' ...
So tell me where does a broken man go? ...
I don't understand.
I guess i'm kinda like my old man ...
I'm gonna live and die just a work in my bare hands ...
So tell me where does a broken man go? ...
I'm goin down to the river, down to the river, the old muddy water gonna clear my mind, down to the river, down to the river, watch my troubles just a float on by ... float on by ...
When i was young, this world was just keel fence stone...
You can keep what you call and take it home ...
Now tell where did that world go? ...
Well at 21, that preacher took me back on my hair...
I gotta get that feelin' back again ...
Cuz this sin's tryin' to take my soul ...
I'm goin down to the river, down to the river, the old muddy water gonna clear my mind, down to the river, down to the river, watch my troubles just a float on by ... float on by ... (2x)
That muddy water ...
That old delta queen ...
I'ma callin ...
It's gonna set me free (2x) ...
I'm goin down to the river, down to the river, the old muddy water gonna clear my mind, down to the river, down to the river, watch my troubles just a float on by ... float on by ...
