Mississippi written by Bob Dylan
Every step 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 Where to escape
The city's just a
jungle More games to play I'm trapped in the heart of it Trying to get away
I was raised in the country Been
working in the town I been in trouble since I Set my suitcase down
I got nothing for you I 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 too sublime Could
never do you justice No reason or rhyme There's only one thing I did wrong I stayed in Mississippi a day too
long
Devil's in the alley Mule kickin' in the stall Say anything you wanna I've heard it all I was thinking
about the things that you said I was dreaming I was sleeping in you 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, well I'm
sorry too
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 till 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 splinters It's sinking fast
I'm drowning in the poison Got no future Got no past But my heart
is not weary, it's light and it's free I've got nothing but affection for those who've sailed with me
Everybody's
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 Tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that
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 I did wrong I stayed in Mississippi a day too long Yeah the only thing that I did wrong Was stayed
in Mississippi a day too long The only thing that I did wrong Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
