Every step of the way, we walk the days are numbered, so are mine Time is piling up, we and we scrape All in, nowhere to escape
The just a jungle, more games to play I'm trapped in the of it, trying to get away I was in the country, been working in the town I been in trouble I set my suitcase down
I ain't got nothing for you, I had before even have anything, for myself anymore Sky's full of fire and the rain is down There's nothing you can me, so I'll see you around
All my powers of expression and thoughts so never do you justice, reason or rhyme There's only one that I did wrong I stayed in Mississippi a day too
in the alley, the mule kicking in the stall Say anything you wanna, I've it all I was thinking about the things she said I was dreaming, I was in your bed
Walking through the leaves falling the trees like a stranger nobody sees So many things we never undo I you're sorry, well I'm sorry too
Some people will offer you their hand and some Last night I knew you, tonight I I need something strong to my mind I'm look at you till my eyes go blind
Well I got here, the Southern Star I crossed river just to be where you are There's only one thing that I did I stayed in a day too long
Well my ship's been split to splinters 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 move Well with me baby anyhow Things should start to get interesting about now
My clothes are wet, tight on my Not as tight as the that I painted myself in I know that fortune is to be kind So give me your hand and say be mine
The emptiness is endless, as clay You can always come back, but you can't back all the way Well there's only one that I did wrong I in Mississippi a day too long
Yeah the only thing I did wrong Was stayed in Mississippi a day too The only thing that I did Was in Mississippi a day too long
