Muddy Water Sinner

Intro

Mm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Four a.m. the bottles line the sink

Back door swinging in the rain

I been running from the morning light

Too long to change my name

Pre-Chorus

Got mud on my boots and rust on my soul

But the highway knows the way I go

Chorus

Take me down to the river floor

Let the muddy water wash me clean

I've been lost so long I can't keep score

Lay my troubles where they lean

Verse 2

The organ moans behind the door

The preacher knows my kind

Every chord a scar I wore

Every line a ragged rhyme

Pre-Chorus

Got dust in my lungs and thunder in my chest

But I'll ride this road until I rest

Chorus

Take me down to the river floor

Let the muddy water wash me clean

I've been lost so long I can't keep score

Lay my troubles where they lean

Bridge

Lowdown and lonesome

Muddy and slow

Give me one more sermon

Before I go

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Take me down to the river floor

Let the muddy water wash me clean

I've been lost so long I can't keep score

Lay my troubles where they lean

Outro

Muddy and slow

Take me low

Mm

Oh-oh
