Roll on muddy river, roll to the sea

Take all these memories from me

Take all of the rain that's falling down

Take all of these teardrops splashing on the ground


It's about a love that's got me blue

A love forsaken for somebody new

He roles through town just like you do

He's just like the river that's only passing through


So roll on muddy river, roll to the sea

Take all these memories from me

Take all of the rain that's falling down

Take all of these teardrops splashing on the ground


I've grown so tired of all those lies

I'm on my way now to find some bluer skies

Gonna find me a ticket far from this town 

Far from the river that only brings me down


I've got a broken heart, it's about to mend

Like it always has, time and time again

Gonna send these troubles on down the line

I'm gonna let them spill and flow away like wine


Roll on muddy river, roll to the sea

Take all these memories from me

Take all of the rain that's falling down

Take all of these teardrops splashing on the ground

Take all of the rain that's falling down

Take all of these teardrops splashing on the ground
