Story Behind the Song
Lyrics
There's a weight on my shoulders,
There's an ache in my heart--
I spent half a lifetime
Shaking off a false start
Roll, roll Mississippi,
Big Muddy, roll down--
Where are my Blue Ridge Mountains,
Where is that tobacco town?
I ain't nothin but a hound dog,
I ain't nothing but a fool
Lay around all day in the sun
Pining for you--
Wake me up, take me out--
Let me run
Another poor boy with promise
Just one more soldier on his knee
Settled down in this river valley
Calling on his infantry
(Chorus)
And I know I'm not forsaken,
And muddy waters sometimes clear
And though I prayed to be taken home,
I can't leave what I hold dear.
(Chorus)
