Letra de Mississippi (Version 1)
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 escapeCity's just a jungle, more games to play Trapped in the heart of it, I'm trying to get away I was raised in the country, been working in the town I've been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase downGot nothing for you, I had nothing before Don't even have anything for myself anymore Sky's full of fire and the pain is pouring down There's nothing you can sell me, I'll see you aroundAll my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime Never do you justice in reason or rhyme Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi just a day too longDevil's in the alley, mule's kickin' in the stall Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all I was thinking 'bout the things that Rosie said I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bedWalking through the leaves, and falling from the trees I feel like a stranger here nobody sees There're things that we never will undo I know you're sorry, I'm sorry tooSome people will offer you their hand and some won't Last night I knew you, tonight I don't There is something strong to distract my mind I'm gonna look at you until my eyes go blindI got here following the southern star I crossed that river just to be where you are Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too longWell, my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free I've got nothing but affection for all those who've sailed with meEverybody's moving if they ain't already there Everybody's moving, everybody got to move somewhere Stick with me, baby, anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about nowMy clothes are wet and they're tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in Fortune I know is waiting to be kind So you give me your hand and say you'll be mineEmptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way There is only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
