Lyrics
Every step of the way we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is pilin’ up, we struggle and we scrape All boxed in, nowhere to escape City’s just a jungle; more games to play I'm trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away I was raised in the country, been workin’ in the town I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down I got nothin' for you, I had nothin' before Don’t even have anything for mysеlf anymore Sky full of fire, and the rain is pourin’ down Thеre's nothing you can sell me, so I’ll see you around All my powers of expression and thoughts too sublime Could never do you justice no reason or rhyme Well there's only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Devil's devil’s in the alley, mule’s kickin' in the stall Say anything you wanna, I heard it all I was thinkin’ 'bout the things that you said I was dreaming I was sleepin' in your bed Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees Feeling like a stranger nobody sees Well, so many things we never will undo I know you’re sorry, oh I’m sorry too and Some people offer you their hand and some won’t Last night I knew you, tonight I don’t I need something strong to distract my mind I’m gonna look at you ’til my eyes go blind Well I got here followin' the southern star I crossed that river just to be where you are There's only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well my ship’s been split with splinters, it’s sinking' fast I’m drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my eyeline's not moving, it’s light and it’s free I’ve got nothing but affection for those who’ve sailed with me Everybody moving if they ain’t already there Everybody's got to move somewhere Well, stick with me baby anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now My clothes are wet, they're tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in I know that fortune is reckon to be kind So give me your hand and say you’ll be mine Emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you can’t come back all the way Yeah there's only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Yeah the only thing that I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Yeah the only thing that I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
