| Do you remember when you first heard Otis Redding?
|
| When a certain something melody could blow your mind
|
| I used to hide upstairs with my mama’s records
|
| Dropped the needle on a track about a hundred damn times
|
| Let’s take it on back to the river
|
| With that muddy water beat
|
| Let’s take it on back to that old soul
|
| Let it all wash all over me
|
| Let’s turn back time for a minute
|
| Maybe we can just pretend that we’re right back there again
|
| Yeah, put on that track
|
| Let’s take it on back
|
| Oh, let’s take it on back
|
| I grew up on the state line of Georgia and Carolina
|
| I loved the sound of that gospel southern rock
|
| Yeah I still I hear that soul train whistle blowin'
|
| And wishing that groove would never stop
|
| Let’s take it on back to the river
|
| With that muddy water beat
|
| Let’s take it on back to that old soul
|
| Let it all wash all over me
|
| Let’s turn back time for a minute
|
| Maybe we can just pretend that we’re right back there again
|
| Yeah, put on that track
|
| Let’s take it on back and put that vinyl on
|
| There ain’t nothing wrong
|
| Oh come on, sing along
|
| I wanna feel a little something real
|
| Let’s take it on back to the river
|
| With that muddy water beat
|
| Let’s take it on back to that old soul
|
| Let it all wash all over me
|
| Let’s turn back time for a minute
|
| Maybe we can just pretend that we’re right back there again
|
| Yeah, put on that track
|
| Let’s take it on back
|
| Let’s take it on back
|
| Oh baby
|
| That muddy water beat washing all over me
|
| Take it on back |
