Tin roof leaks when it rains Bull frogs and crickets sing Wise ole hoot owls watchin' everything Moss hangin' in the trees Fireflies dancin' in the breeze I got Heaven sittin' in my front porch swing Right next to me So roll on, roll on, Roll on, big river Winding like an old moonlit highway Roll on, roll on Roll on, big river Muddy waters wash my cares away Crawfish boiling in a pot Barefoot on the dock Baby's hanging on me And I know it won't be long Til we pull a cork on that jug of wine Tangled up like kudzu vine Do a little late night lovin' til the fire's gone
And we're all alone So roll on, roll on, Roll on, big river Winding like an old moonlit highway Roll on, roll on Roll on, big river Muddy waters wash my cares away Roll on, roll on, Roll on, big river Winding like an old moonlit highway Roll on, roll on Roll on, big river Muddy waters wash my cares away Roll on, roll on, Roll on, big river Winding like an old moonlit highway Roll on, roll on Roll on, big river Muddy waters wash my cares away Let those muddy waters wash my cares away
