Dixie Chicks - Mississippi Lyrics
Every step of the wayWe walk the lineYour days are numberedSo are mineTime is piling upWe struggle and we scrapeAll boxed inNowhere to escapeThe city's just a jungleMore games to playI'm trapped in the heart of itTrying to get awayI was raised in the countryBeen working in the townI been in trouble since ISet my suitcase downI ain't got nothing for youI had nothing beforeDon't even have anythingFor myself anymoreSky's full of fireAnd the rain is pouring downThere's nothing you can sell meSo I'll see you aroundAll my powers of expressionAnd thoughts so sublimeCould never do you justiceReason or rhymeThere's only one thing that I did wrongI stayed in Mississippi a day too longThe devil's in the alley, the mule kickin' in the stallSay anything you wanna, I've heard it allI was thinking about the things that you saidI was dreaming I was sleeping in your bedWalking through the leaves, falling from the treesFeel like a stranger nobody seesSo many things we never will undoI know you're sorry, well I'm sorry tooSome people will offer you their hand and some won'tLast night I knew you, tonight I don'tI need something strong to distract my mindI'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blindWell I got here, following the southern starI crossed that river just to be where you areThere's only one thing that I did wrongI stayed in Mississippi a day too longWell my ship's been split to splinters; it's sinking fastI'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past-acap
