Clint Black - Muddy Water lyrics

Out into the moonlight

I could never fail

Down by the turkey creek

To find that old trail.

The river she's a flowin'

I'm rememberin' the night

Before I knew she was goin'

She was clean outta sight.

That muddy water keeps on rollin'

Like the buffalo, she just 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 the stars are just as bright

Somewhere around the bend

She takes a bit of everthin'

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 just keeps movin' on

From that bayou town my heart was stolen

Like the water rollin' out with the tide

She was here and gone...
