Every step of the wayWe walk the lineYour days are numberedSo are mineTime is piling upWe struggle and we scrapeWe're all boxed inNowhere to escapeCity's just a jungleMore games to playI'm trapped in the heart of itTrying to get awayI was raised in the countryBeen working in the townI been in trouble since ISet my suitcase downI ain't got nothing for youI had nothing beforeDon't even do anythingFor myself anymoreSky's full of fireRain pouring downThere's nothing you can sell meSo I'll see you aroundAll my powers of expressionAnd thoughts so sublimeCould never do you justiceIn reason or rhymeWell there's only one thing I did wrongI stayed in Mississippi a day too longThe devil's in the alley, mule kicking in the stallSay anything you wanna, I've heard it allI was thinking about the things that you saidI was dreaming I was sleeping in your bedWalking through the leaves, falling from the treesFeelin' like a stranger nobody seesWell so many things we never will undoI know you're sorry, well I'm sorry tooSome people'll offer you their hand and some won'tLast night I knew you, tonight I don'tI need something strong to distract my mindI'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blindWell I got here, following the southern starI crossed that river just to be where you areThere's only one thing that I did wrongI stayed in Mississippi a day too longWell my ship's been split to splinters; it's sinking fastI'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no pastBut my heart is not weary, and smiling's freeI've got nothing but affection for those who've sailed with meEverybody's moving if they ain't already thereEverybody's got to move somewhereWell stick with me baby anyhowThings should start to get interesting right about nowMy clothes are wet, tight on my skinNot as tight as the corner that I painted myself inI know that fortune is waiting to be kindSo give me your hand and say you'll be mineThe emptiness is endless, gold is grayYou can always go back, but you can't go back all the wayWell there's only one thing that I did wrongI stayed in Mississippi a day too longYeah the only thing that I did wrongWas stayed in Mississippi a day too longThe only thing that I did wrongWas stayed in Mississippi a day too long
