Muddy Water Home
Journey to Redemption: Muddy Waters and Lost Love
Lyrics
Walkin' on down the track, bringing my baby back,
Expressing the act of walking down a path while bringing the speaker's partner with them.
Well, I'm on my way to that muddy water home.
Referring to the destination as a "muddy water home," suggesting a sentimental or nostalgic place.
Things ain't been the same since she got on that train.
Noting a change in the speaker's life since their partner left on a train.
Done jumped that rail, done left me all alone.
Describing the partner's departure, expressing a sense of abandonment.
When you hear that whistle blow, I'm headed down the road.
Anticipating the sound of a train whistle, indicating the speaker's journey.
Gonna bring my darlin' back where she belongs.
Expressing the desire to bring the partner back to where she belongs.
Don't sleep through the night, without that woman to hold me tight.
Highlighting the discomfort of sleeping without the partner's presence.
Come mornin' look and I'll be gone.
Implying the speaker's intention to leave by morning.
Walkin' on down the line, leavin' these blues behind,
Continuing the journey, leaving behind feelings of sadness or depression.
She's the only one who would ever let me know.
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the partner in providing emotional support.
Now I'm thinking back on the day, before she went away,
Reflecting on the time before the partner's departure and questioning the reason for her leaving.
Wonderin' why she ever had to go.
Expressing a sense of wonder and sadness about the partner's departure.
When you hear that whistle moan, I'm headed down the road.
Anticipating the mournful sound of a train whistle, signaling the speaker's departure.
Gonna bring my darlin' back where she belongs.
Reiterating the desire to bring the partner back to her rightful place.
Can't sleep through the night, without that woman to hold me tight.
Expressing the difficulty of sleeping without the comforting presence of the partner.
Come mornin', look and I'll be gone.
Indicating the speaker's intention to leave by morning once again.
Walkin' on down the track, bringing my baby back,
Repeating the imagery of walking down a track while bringing the partner back.
Well, I'm on my way to that muddy water home.
Reiterating the destination as a sentimental and muddy water home.
Things ain't been the same since she got on that train.
Emphasizing the impact of the partner's departure on the speaker's life.
Done jumped that rail, done left me all alone.
Describing the partner's departure again, underlining the sense of loneliness.
When you hear that whistle moan, I'm headed down the road.
Anticipating the mournful sound of a train whistle once more, signaling the ongoing journey.
Gonna bring my darlin' back where she belongs.
Expressing the persistent desire to reunite with the partner and restore her place.
Can't sleep through the night, without that woman to hold me tight.
Reiterating the discomfort of sleeping without the partner's presence.
Come mornin', look and I'll be gone.
Confirming the intention to leave by morning as part of the ongoing journey.
Well, I'm on my way to that muddy water home.
Summarizing the speaker's journey towards the sentimental and muddy water home.
