Lyrics

They were last seen by the river, Big Muddy River, Last Friday night
He had a message to deliver, A ring to give her, As he held her tight
But when the sun came up they were no where to be found
Footprints in the mud and a ring lay on the ground
Can?t run, can?t hide ? someone would spot them
And who knows what lies inside, Big Muddy Bottom

The sheriff said they left few traces, Two blurry faces?in the haze
And barely forty years between them, No one has seen them?for five long days
And the dogs sniffed the Muddy River bottom all day long
Tryin? to get a clue before the muddy trail is gone
Can?t run, can?t hide?. someone would spot ?em
Who knows what lies inside? Big Muddy bottom
Did they run away or was it just a prank Or was it foul play on the river bank
The scene unfolds if it ever does, I hope they find two lovers in love
Can?t run, can?t hide?someone would spot ?em
Who knows what lies inside ,Big Muddy bottom
Can?t run, can?t hide, Big Muddy Bottom
