Muddy Water - John Lindberg Trio

I’m gonna drive down to the river,

If the river runs dry, then I will find, some muddy water.

I got something to confess,

I had to do something, that I ain’t proud of,

Well sometimes a boy has to be a man,

So I raised my hand and I pulled the trigger.

I’m gonna drive down to the river,

If the river runs dry, they won’t catch me,

I’m gonna drive down to the river,

If the river runs dry, then I will find, some muddy water.

I was born and raised in a small town,

In a poor family I was the third son,

Could anyone believe what I’ve become,

With a cold blooded hand and a loaded gun.

I’m gonna drive down to the river,

If the river runs dry, they won’t catch me,

I’m gonna drive down to the river,

If the river runs dry, then I will find, some muddy water.

There is no three steps to heaven for me,

But no one should take theft from my property,

I know it’s gonna follow me to the grave,

How could I find some peace and harmony.

A certain death is coming my way,

But I know I’ll stand tall on the judgement day,

Time will tell of what’s yet to come,

Even if in this river the water may be gone.

I’m gonna drive down to the river,

If the river runs dry, they won’t catch me,

I’m gonna drive down to the river,

If the river runs dry, they won’t catch me,

I’m gonna drive down to the river,

If the river runs dry, then they will find, some muddy water.
