lyrics
Chorus:
Oh, Neches River
Take me home, take me home
Oh, muddy waters
Baptize my soul
Take me home
Verse 1:
The click and the clack of the railroad track
Brings the memories back of the Santa Fe freight line racing by
Bring me back where the gold is black
with the glow from the refinery smoke stack in a sulfur sky
Pre-Chorus:
Where e'er I roam
Neches River bring me home
Chorus:
Oh, Neches River
Take me home, take me home
Oh, muddy waters
Baptize my soul
Take me home
Verse 2:
I long for the brown, tar-filled Gulf shores
And the downtown clock that runs no more from the hurricane
Pre-Chorus:
Where e'er I roam
Neches River bring me home
Chorus:
Oh, Neches River
Take me home, take me home
Oh, muddy waters
Baptize my soul
Take me home
