    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)
