Every step of the way, we walk the Your are numbered, so are mine Time is up, we struggle and we scrape All boxed in, to escape
The just a jungle, more games to play I'm trapped in the of it, trying to get away I was raised in the country, working in the town I been in trouble I set my suitcase down
I got nothing for you, I had nothing before even have anything, for myself anymore Sky's of fire and the rain is pouring down nothing you can sell me, so I'll see you around
All my powers of and thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice, reason or There's one thing that I did wrong I in Mississippi a day too long
in the alley, the mule kicking in the stall Say anything you wanna, heard it all I was thinking the things that she said I was dreaming, I was sleeping in bed
Walking the leaves falling from the trees Feel like a nobody sees So many things we will undo I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too
people will offer you their hand and some won't Last I knew you, tonight I don't I need something strong to distract my I'm look at you till my eyes go blind
Well I got here, following the Star I crossed that river to be where you are There's one thing that I did wrong I in Mississippi a day too long
my ship's been split to splinters it's sinking fast I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no But my heart is not weary, light and it's free I've got nothing but affection for those who've sailed me
Everybody's moving if they ain't there Everybody's got to somewhere stick with me baby anyhow Things should start to get interesting about now
My clothes are wet, tight on my Not as tight as the corner that I myself in I know that fortune is to be kind So give me hand and say you'll be mine
The is endless, cold as clay You can always come back, but you can't come all the way Well there's one thing that I did wrong I stayed in a day too long
Yeah the only thing that I did Was in Mississippi a day too long The thing that I did wrong Was stayed in a day too long
