[Verse 1] If you ever come down to the ol muddy river Then you probably gonna catch me catchin one there I got a fishin hole and a country girl waiting on me A honey suckle bud and her silky brown here [Verse 2] I aint never been afraid just to get a little dirty Gotta get a little dirt for some good clean fun Day by day the river keeps a rolling Though the years come and go like the evening sun [Chorus] All my lifes been wild like the river So me and that river get along just fine Everythings easy at the ol muddy river You know thats where I like to spend all of my time [Verse 3] I really found myself at the ol muddy river When I thought Id lost more than I could regain I sank my troubles in the slow flowin water Just to hold me like a maker when it floods with rain [Chorus] All my lifes been wild like the river So me and that river get along just fine Everythings easy at the ol muddy river You know thats where I like to spend all of my time [Verse 4] Preacher man wash me in the ol muddy river Last Sunday mornin at the break of day light Theyll spread my ashes in the ol muddy river But Ill be swimming in the river of life [Chorus] All my lifes been wild like the river So me and that river get along just fine Everythings easy at the ol muddy river You know thats where I like to spend all of my time Yeah you know thats where I like to spend all of my time
