Jackson, Mississippi

And when the sunshine showed
Her face I felt like I was ready to die
Went lookin' for a place to hide
A hole I could crawl inside
Long lines
Whiskey bottles
And the same old song
I smell death in the air
And I know it won't be long

And I could say I'm tryin' to change
But that's just another lie
It's been a day and a half
And I'm still high

And I feel like
Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Like Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Like Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin' through my veins

And when the daylight disappeared
I took a good look inside
Behind my pride
I sat down and cried
I know I'm not a fool
But I don't know what's wrong
Maybe it's time to pack
And just move on

And I could say I'm trying to change
But that's just another lie
I'm looking for someone
To tell me why

And I feel like
Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Like Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Like Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin' through my veins
