You know the summertime is coming, tell you what I'm gonna do
I'll get a little boat, twenty foot or twenty two
I have my buddy check 'er motor, fill her up with oil and gas
Start taking longer weekends, I'm gonna have a blast
Meet me on the bank where the currents run slow
By the muddy, muddy water... the place we used to go.
It's oh, my god, for goodness sake
We go down a crooked river and right into the lake
And we go down, and we go….
Oh, I been workin', I been workin', I'm workin' all the time
I'm guilty, I'm guilty, let the sentence fit the crime
I could live on bread and water, a little beer and fish
Don't spare the rod, keep its real, that's my only wish
Ya meet me on the bank where the current's runnin' slow
By the muddy, muddy water... the place we used to go.
It's oh, my god, for goodness sake
We go down a crooked river and right into the lake
And we go down, and we go..... c'mon down
You know money's always money, what we really spend is time
The wealth I have worth sharin's spread among these friends of mine
There are diamonds in the water, golden ripples in the sand
Rubles in The sun and silver minnows in my hand
You meet me on the bank where the current's runnin' slow
By the muddy, muddy water... The place we used to go.
It's oh, my god, for goodness sake
We go down a crooked river and right into the lake
And we go down, and we go..... go...go... go!
