Lyrics
0:15Every step of the way
0:17We walk the line
0:19Your days are numbered
0:21So are mine
0:23Time is piling up
0:24We struggle and we scrape
0:26All boxed in
0:28Nowhere to escape
0:38The city's just a jungle
0:40More games to play
0:42I'm trapped in the heart of it
0:43Trying to get away
0:45I was raised in the country
0:47Been working in the town
0:49I been in trouble since I
0:51Set my suitcase down
0:53I ain't got nothing for you
0:55I had nothing before
0:57Don't even have anything
0:58For myself anymore
1:01Sky's full of fire
1:02And the rain is pouring down
1:04There's nothing you can sell me
1:06So I'll see you around
1:08All my powers of expression
1:10And thoughts so sublime
1:12Could never do you justice
1:14Reason or rhyme
1:16There's only one thing that I did wrong
1:20I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
1:39The devil's in the alley the mule kickin' in the stall
1:43Say anything you wanna I've heard it all
1:46I was thinking about the things that you said
1:50I was dreaming I was sleeping in your bed
1:54Walking through the leaves falling from the trees
1:58Feel like a stranger nobody sees
2:02So many things we never will undo
2:06I know you're sorry well I'm sorry too
2:08Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
2:13Last night I knew you tonight I don't
2:17I need something strong to distract my mind
2:21I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind
2:25Well I got here following the southern star
2:29I crossed that river just to be where you are
2:32There's only one thing that I did wrong
2:36I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
2:55Well my ship's been split to splinters it's sinking fast
2:59I'm drowning in the poison got no future got no past
3:02But my heart is not weary and smiling's free
3:06I've got nothing but affection for those who've sailed with me
3:11Everybody's moving if they ain't already there
3:14Everybody's got to move somewhere
3:17Well stick with me baby anyhow
3:22Things should start to get interesting right about now
3:26My clothes are wet tight on my skin
3:30Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
3:34I know that fortune is waiting to be kind
3:37So give me your hand and say you'll be mine
3:40The emptiness is endless gold is gray
3:45You can always go back but you can't go back all the way
3:48Well there's only one thing that I did wrong
3:52I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
3:56Yeah the only thing that I did wrong
4:00Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
4:04The only thing that I did wrong
4:07Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
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 Nowhere 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 ain't 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 so sublime Could never do you justice Reason or rhyme There's only one thing that I did wrong I stayed in Mississippi a day too long The devil's in the alley the 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 your bed Walking through the leaves falling from the trees Feel like a stranger nobody sees So many things we never will undo I know you're sorry well I'm sorry too Some people will 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 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 and 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 The emptiness is endless gold is gray 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 Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long The only thing that I did wrong Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
