Down To The River - The Cadillac Three

I’m sick of trying and I’m six feet short of dying

This world don’t care if I’m crying

So tell me, where does a broken man go?

I don’t understand, I guess I’m kinda like my old man

Gonna live and die, just work with my bare hands

So tell me where does a broken man go?

I’m going down to the river, down to the river

That old muddy water gonna clear my mind

Down to the river, down to the river

And hope my troubles just float on by

Please, just float on by

When I was young, this world was just skipping stones

You could keep what you caught and take it home

So tell me, where did that world go?

At 21, that preacher took me back and dunked my head

I gotta get that feeling back again

He said Satan’s trying to take my soul

I’m going down to the river, down to the river

That old muddy water gonna clear my mind

Down to the river, down to the river

And watch my troubles just float on

I’m going down to the river, down to the river

That old muddy water gonna clear my mind

Down to the river, down to the river

And watch my troubles just float on by

Oh, please just float on by

Oh that muddy water, that old delta queen

I’m a calm man, it’s gonna set me free

Muddy water, that old delta queen

I’m a calm man, it’s gonna set me free

I’m going down to the river, down to the river

That old muddy water gonna clear my mind

Down to the river, down to the river

And hope my troubles float on

I’m going down to the river, down to the river

That old muddy water gonna clear my mind

Down to the river, down to the river

And watch my troubles float on by

Oh, please just float on by
