Clint Black - Muddy Water lyrics

rate me

(Clint Black/Hayden Nicholas)

Out into the moonlight

I could never fall

Down by the turkey creek

To find that old trail

The river she's a flowin'

I'm remembering the night

Before I knew she was goin'

She was clean outta sight

That muddy water keeps on rollin'

Like the buffalo she keeps movin' on

From that bayou town my heart was stolen

Like the water rollin' out with the tide

She was here and gone

There ain't no magic in the moonlight

No feelin' in the wind

But I know that stars are just as bright

Somewhere around the bend

She takes a bit of everything

Just which ever way she flows

Now a thought is all she brings

And that's the way it goes

That muddy water keeps on rollin'

Like the buffalo she keeps movin' on

From that bayou town my heart was stolen

Like the water rollin' out with the tide

She was here and gone
