I'm sick of trying
An I'm six feet short of dying
Yes, the world don't care if I'm crying
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 with just my word and my bare hands
So tell me where does a broken man go?I'm going down to the river, down to the river
That old muddy water's gonna clear my mind
Down to the river, down to the river
And hope my troubles get to float on by
Oh please just float on by
When I was young
This world was just skippin' stones
You could keep what you caught and take it home
So tell me where did that world go?At 21
That preacher took me back and dumped my head
I gotta get that feeling back again
Cause this city's trying to take my soulI'm going down to the river, down to the river
That old muddy water's gonna clear my mind
Down to the river, down to the river
And watch my troubles get to float on byI'm going down to the river, down to the river
That old muddy water's gonna clear my mind
Down to the river, down to the river
And watch my troubles get to float on by
Oh please just float on by
Oh, that muddy water
That old delta queen
I'm a comin'
It's gonna set me free
Muddy water
That old delta queen
I'm a comin'
It's gonna set me freeI'm going down to the river, down to the river
That old muddy water's gonna clear my mind
Down to the river, down to the river
And hope my troubles will float onI'm going down to the river, down to the river
That old muddy water's gonna clear my mind
Down to the river, down to the river
And watch my troubles float on by
Oh please just float on by
