DIXIE CHICKS – MISSISSIPPI – LIVE VERSION Lyrics

Artist: DIXIE CHICKS
Song: MISSISSIPPI – LIVE VERSION

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
We’re all boxed in
Nowhere to escape

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 ain’t got nothing for you
I had nothing before
Don’t even do anything
For myself anymore

Sky’s full of fire
Rain 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
In reason or rhyme

Well there’s only one thing I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Devil’s in the alley, mule kicking 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 your bed
Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
Feelin’ 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’ll 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
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 mom I lost my move smiling’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
Emptiness is endless, cold as clay
You can always go back, but you can’t go 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
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Yeah, the only thing that I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
