Lyrics

C G F
Got myself some money, went down to
C
mexico
G
Found a little cabin on the water and
F C
made that place my home
G F
10 years later I'm a waitin on that big
C
ship to come in
G
But the water just keeps on risin and I
F C
aint learned to swim

chorus: E7 F D7
So roll on by muddy water say goodnight
C G C
We're all just tryin to get by (get it right, see the light, get hi)

Theres nothin quite as easy as an early morning rain
and nothin quite as simple as going home again
people try to tell me what a lucky man I am
but the truth is Im a sinner and I dont really give a damn

Once I had a family, good work with lots of pay
but a no good fornicator stole that life away
Now maybe it was on me and maybe it was not
but theres just one thing for certain, true love cant be bought

whats the world a commin to, where can the people go
there aint enough room down here on the beach in mexico
everyone has a problem maybe I do to
but it aint gonna make me worry, it aint gonna make me blue

Sometimes it come easy, sometimes its really strange
but there aint to many crazy nuff to stay out in the rain
Maybe thats my angle, maybe thats my fame
I guess Im a crazy maniac cause I wont play their game
