[00:00.00]Mississippi - Luke Vassella
[00:18.32]Every step of the way we walk the line
[00:22.37]
[00:24.15]Your days are numbered so are mine
[00:28.06]
[00:30.01]Time is pilin' up we struggle and we scrape
[00:34.00]
[00:35.58]We're all boxed in nowhere to escape
[00:40.58]
[00:41.37]City's just a jungle more games to play
[00:45.45]
[00:47.11]Trapped in the heart of it trying to get away
[00:51.42]
[00:52.10]I was raised in the country
[00:54.08]
[00:54.72]I been workin' in the town
[00:56.58]
[00:58.29]I been in trouble ever since
[00:59.46]I put my suitcase down
[01:02.89]
[01:04.44]Got nothing for you
[01:05.44]
[01:06.73]I had nothing before
[01:08.43]
[01:09.58]I don't even have anything for myself anymore
[01:14.21]
[01:15.37]Sky full of fire pain pourin' down
[01:19.87]
[01:20.92]Nothing you can sell me
[01:22.70]I'll see you around
[01:26.61]All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
[01:31.63]
[01:32.76]Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme
[01:37.15]
[01:37.89]Only one thing I did wrong
[01:42.96]
[01:44.29]Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
[01:50.01]
[01:55.94]Well the devil's in the alley mule's in the stall
[02:00.33]
[02:01.58]Say anything you want to
[02:02.92]
[02:04.49]I have heard it all
[02:06.25]
[02:07.37]I was thinkin' about the things that Rosie said
[02:11.93]
[02:13.02]I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed
[02:17.99]
[02:18.59]Walking through the leaves falling from the trees
[02:23.19]
[02:24.27]Feeling like a stranger nobody sees
[02:29.00]
[02:30.22]So many things that we never will undo
[02:34.56]
[02:36.37]I know you're sorry
[02:38.03]
[02:39.06]I'm sorry too
[02:40.87]
[02:41.73]Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
[02:45.61]
[02:47.09]Last night I knew you tonight I don't
[02:51.98]
[02:53.00]I need somethin' strong to distract my mind
[02:57.66]I'm gonna look at you till my eyes go blind
[03:04.05]Well I got here following the southern star
[03:09.18]
[03:10.06]I crossed that river just to be where you are
[03:14.71]
[03:15.29]Only one thing I did wrong
[03:20.25]
[03:22.02]Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
[03:27.64]
[03:43.52]Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
[03:49.15]
[03:50.13]I'm drownin' in the poison got no future got no past
[03:54.80]
[03:55.82]But my heart is not weary
[03:57.17]
[03:58.69]It's light and it's free
[04:00.09]
[04:01.49]I've got nothin' but affection for all those
[04:04.09]Who've sailed with me
[04:06.66]
[04:07.51]Everybody movin' if they ain't already there
[04:11.59]
[04:13.08]Everybody got to move somewhere
[04:17.18]
[04:18.22]Stick with me baby stick with me anyhow
[04:22.78]
[04:24.06]Things should start to get interesting right about now
[04:29.39]
[04:30.34]My clothes are wet tight on my skin
[04:34.52]
[04:35.52]Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
[04:40.44]
[04:41.11]I know that fortune is just waitin' to be kind
[04:46.13]
[04:46.77]Darling give me your hand and say you'll be mine
[04:51.67]
[04:52.35]Well the emptiness is endless cold as the clay
[04:57.51]
[04:58.61]You can always come back
[05:00.53]But you can't come back all the way
[05:03.66]Only one thing I did wrong
[05:08.74]
[05:10.77]Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
[05:15.06]
[06:12.03]Only one thing I did wrong
[06:16.63]
[06:18.25]Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
