Jim White - Handcuffed to a fence in mississippi

I^E'm handcuffed to a^G fence i^An Mississippi. My ^Egirlfriend blows a ^Gboozy good-bye ^Akiss. I see ^Eflying squirrels and ^Gnightmares of ^Astigmata. Then ^Eawakening to ^Gfind my Trans ^AAm gone. Still, I'm ^Efeeling pretty ^Dgood about the ^Bfuture. Yeah, ^Eeverything is ^Dpeaches but the ^Bcream. I'm ^Ehandcuffed to a ^Dfence in ^BMississippi, Where ^Emthings is always ^Ebetter than they^B seem.

I see th^Ee guitar that my ^Gcousin played in ^Aprison, Floating with the^E tv in the swi^Gmming ^Apool. I'm c^Ealling for the ^Gowner of the ^Amotel, Then n^Eoticing the bloodstain on the ^Adoor. I'm r^Eeaching for the ^Dshoes under the ^Bbushes, Just in^E time to ^Dhear the sirens ^Bsing. I'm ^Ehandcuffed to a ^Dfence in ^BmMississippi, Where ^Emthings is always b^Detter than^B they seem.

You know ^Efreedom's just a ^Gstupid super^Astition, 'cause ^Elife's a highway that you travel ^Ablind. It's true that ^Ehaving fun's a ^Gterminal addi^Action. What good is ^Ehappiness, when it's ^Gjust a state of ^Amind? For in the ^Eprison of pe^Drpetual ^Bemotion, We're all ^Eshackled to the m^Billstone of our d^Breams. Me, I'm h^Eandcuffed to a f^Dence in Missi^Bssippi, Where t^Ehings is always ^Dbetter than t^Bhey seem.
