| Title: Muddy Springs Road
Artist: Omar & The Howlers
I hate to hear that screen door slamminī
Itīs hard for me to say good-bye
Canīt stand to think about leavinī
I sure hate to see my Momma cry
Born and raised a delta child
Took off runninī and got real wild
Used to spend my nights down across the tracks
Where the whiskey was white and the blues was black
No matter where Iīve been or where I go
My heart is never far from old Muddy Springs
Muddy Springs Road
I fell in with the Hoo Doo Man
Put his guitar in my hands
Said "Cat you were born to play the blues
Itīs in your blood thatīs what youīll do"
The sun is hot and the sugar cane grows high
And the cotton mouth donīt think before he strikes
I take these memories with me when I go
I miss my home down Muddy Springs Road
Momma sittinī on the front porch swinging
Sings a lonesome lullabye
Daddy come and puts his arms around her
Says "Son do you have to say good-bye?"
Well you know Iīve been a lot of places
And you know Iīll always sing the blues
But Momma every road I travel down
Is gonna bring me home to you
The sun is hot and the sugar cane grows high
And the cotton mouth donīt think before he strikes
I take these memories with me when I go
I miss my home down Muddy Springs Road
