Big River

Tin roof leaks when it rains

Bull frogs and crickets sing

Wise ole hoot owls watchin' everything

Moss hangin' in the trees

Fireflies dancin' in the breeze

I got Heaven sittin' in my front porch swing

Right next to me



So roll on, roll on, 

Roll on, big river

Winding like an old moonlit highway

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, big river

Muddy waters wash my cares away



Crawfish boiling in a pot

Barefoot on the dock

Baby's hanging on me

And I know it won't be long

Til we pull a cork on that jug of wine

Tangled up like kudzu vine

Do a little late night lovin' til the fire's gone

And we're all alone



So roll on, roll on, 

Roll on, big river

Winding like an old moonlit highway

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, big river

Muddy waters wash my cares away



Roll on, roll on, 

Roll on, big river

Winding like an old moonlit highway

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, big river

Muddy waters wash my cares away



Roll on, roll on, 

Roll on, big river

Winding like an old moonlit highway

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, big river

Muddy waters wash my cares away



Let those muddy waters wash my cares away
