Muddy Water Lyrics - Black Clint

(Clint Black/Hayden Nicholas) 

Out into the moonlight 

I could never fall 

Down by the turkey creek 

To find that old trail 

The river she's a flowin' 

I'm remembering the night 

Before I knew she was goin' 

She was clean outta sight 

That muddy water keeps on rollin' 

Like the buffalo she 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 that stars are just as bright 

Somewhere around the bend 

She takes a bit of everything 

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 keeps movin' on 

From that bayou town my heart was stolen 

Like the water rollin' out with the tide 

She was here and gone
