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
