Lyrics for Mississippi by Sheryl Crow:
| | | Artist: | Sheryl Crow |
| | Album: | The Globe Sessions | | Track: | Mississippi | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 52 | | | | Lyrics: | Every stop of the way we walk the line
Your days are numbered so are mine
Time is
piling up we struggle and we scrape
All boxed in nowhere to escape
The city's just
a jungle more games to play
All trapped in the heart of it trying to get away
I was
raised in the country been working in the town
I've been in trouble since I set my suitcase
down
I got nothing for you had nothing before
Don't even have anything for myself
anymore
Sky's full of fire and the rain is pouring down
There's nothing you can sell
me, so I'll see you around
All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
Could
never do you justice, reason, or rhyme
There's only one thing that I did wrong
I
stayed in Mississippi a day too long
The devil's in the alley, the mule kicking in the stall
Say anything you wanna, I've heard it all
I was thinking about the things that she
said
I was dreaming I was sleeping in your bed
Walking through the leaves falling
from the trees
Feel like a stranger nobody sees
So many things we never will undo
I know you're sorry, well, I'm sorry too
Some people will 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
following the southern star
I crossed that river just to be where you are
There's
only one thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well, my
ship's been split to splinter - it's sinking fast
I'm drowning in the poison - got no
future, got no past
But my heart's not weary - it's light and it's free
I've got
nothing but affection for those who have sailed with me
Everybody's moving if they ain't
already there
Everybody's gotta move somewhere
Well, stick with me baby, anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now
Well, my clothes are wet,
they're tight on my skin
Not tight as the corner I painted myself in
I know that
fortune is waiting to be kind
So give me your hand and say you'll be mine
The
emptiness is endless - cold as clay
You can always come back, but you can't come back all
the way
Well, there's only one thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day
too long
Yeah, the only thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too
long
The only thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
