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
