^GEvery step of the way G We walk the line G Your days are numbered G So are mine

G Time is piling up G We struggle and we scrape G We’re all boxed in

^DNowhere to ^Gescape G City's just a jungle G More games to play G I'm trapped in the heart of it G Trying to get away

G I was raised in the country G Been working in the town G I been in trouble since I

^DSet my suitcase ^Gdown ^DI ain't got nothing for you D I had nothing before D Don't even do anything D For myself anymore D Sky's full of fire D Rain pouring down D There's nothing you can sell me D So I'll see you around

^GAll my powers of expression G And thoughts so sublime G Could never do you justice G In reason or rhyme G Well there's only one thing I did wrong I stayed in Mississippi ^Da day too ^Glong

^GThe devil's in the alley, mule kicking in the stall G Say anything you wanna, I've heard it all G I was thinking about the things that you said I was dreaming I was sleeping ^Din your ^Gbed

^GWalking through the leaves, falling from the trees ^GFeelin' like a stranger nobody sees ^GWell so many things we never will undo I know you're sorry, ^Dwell I'm sorry ^Gtoo

^DSome people'll offer you their hand and some won't D Last night I knew you, tonight I don't D I need something strong to distract my mind D I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind

^GWell I got here, following the southern star G I crossed that river just to be where you are G There's only one thing that I did wrong I stayed in Mississippi ^Da day too ^Glong G Well my ship's been split to splinters; it's sinking fast G I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past G But my heart is not weary, and smiling's free I've got nothing but affection for those who've ^Dsailed with ^Gme

G Everybody's moving if they ain't already there G Everybody's got to move somewhere G Well stick with me baby anyhow

Things should start to get interesting ^Dright about ^Gnow ^DMy clothes are wet, tight on my skin D Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in D I know that fortune is waiting to be kind D So give me your hand and say you'll be mine

^GThe emptiness is endless, gold is gray G You can always go back, but you can't go back all the way G Well there's only one thing that I did wrong I stayed in Mississippi a ^Dday too ^Glong G Yeah the only thing that I did wrong Was stayed in Mississippi a ^Dday too ^Glong G The only thing that I did wrong -no chord- D G Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
