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
