Well, sometimes I get lonely
And that's a hard thing to say
Till I wound up in the wrong side of Mississippi
A little more than a getaway

Don't talk to yourself
'Cause after a while you might find
Those empty fields of flat lands
Might make you have to lose your mind

Feel the heat and the cold
Cut the air with a knife
But Georgia's is passing through it
You never been there your whole life

Well, don't you know it will get through baby?
Well, I just don't see how
You know it's written on the faces
Of every little passing town

The sun is sinking down over the delta
Seven miles is the only sign that lights our way
I hope someone is there to care about me
I'm gonna tear this whole place down and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way, alright

Well, let me get right down to it
I just can't get enough
You know you hate being down
Before you're in love, be in love

So come on Mississippi, yeah
Don't point your finger at me
Just put me on your straight and narrow
Just as far as my eyes can see

The sun is sinking down over the delta
Seven miles is the only sign that lights our way
I hope someone is there to care about me
I'm gonna tear this whole place down and I'll be on my way

I'm gonna tear this whole place down and I'll be on my way
I'm gonna tear this whole place down and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way, I'll be on my way, on my way
