[00:02.09] Mississippi
[00:02.84] Dixie Chicks
[00:03.77] Top of the World Tour
[00:06.27]
[00:18.43] Every step of the way
[00:19.93] We walk the line
[00:21.88] Your days are numbered So are mine
[00:25.64] Time is piling up
[00:27.14] We struggle and we scrape
[00:29.15] All boxed in Nowhere to escape
[00:32.76]
[00:41.15] The city\'s just a jungle More games to play
[00:44.66] I\'m trapped in the heart of it Trying to get away
[00:48.44] I was raised in the country Been working in the town
[00:52.18] I been in trouble since I Set my suitcase down
[00:55.80] I ain\'t got nothing for you I had nothing before
[00:59.92] Don\'t even have anything For myself anymore
[01:03.80] Sky\'s full of fire And the rain is pouring down
[01:07.53] There\'s nothing you can sell me So I\'ll see you around
[01:11.21] All my powers of expression And thoughts so sublime
[01:14.89] Could never do you justice Reason or rhyme
[01:18.59] There\'s only one thing that I did wrong
[01:22.34] I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
[01:26.95]
[01:42.18] The devil\'s in the alley, the mule kickin\' in the stall
[01:45.75] Say anything you wanna, I\'ve heard it all
[01:49.31] I was thinking about the things that you said
[01:52.93] I was dreaming I was sleeping in your bed
[01:57.42] Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
[02:00.82] Feel like a stranger nobody sees
[02:04.27] So many things we never will undo
[02:08.46] I know you\'re sorry, well I\'m sorry too
[02:12.54] Some people will offer you their hand and some won\'t
[02:16.25] Last night I knew you, tonight I don\'t
[02:19.95] I need something strong to distract my mind
[02:23.71] I\'m gonna look at you \'til my eyes go blind
[02:28.02] Well I got here, following the southern star
[02:31.25] I crossed that river just to be where you are
[02:35.13] There\'s only one thing that I did wrong
[02:38.70] I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
[02:43.16]
[02:57.84] Well my ship\'s been split to splinters; it\'s sinking fast
[03:01.54] I\'m drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past
[03:05.30] But my heart is not weary, and smiling\'s free
[03:08.93] I\'ve got nothing but affection for those who\'ve sailed with me
[03:13.52] Everybody\'s moving if they ain\'t already there
[03:17.09] Everybody\'s got to move somewhere
[03:20.85] Well stick with me baby anyhow
[03:24.48] Things should start to get interesting right about now
[03:28.97] My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
[03:32.53] Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
[03:36.16] I know that fortune is waiting to be kind
[03:39.98] So give me your hand and say you\'ll be mine
[03:44.32] The emptiness is endless, gold is gray
[03:47.45] You can always go back, but you can\'t go back all the way
[03:51.15] Well there\'s only one thing that I did wrong
[03:54.97] I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
[03:58.61] Yeah the only thing that I did wrong
[04:02.57] Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
[04:06.14] The only thing that I did wrong
[04:10.15] Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
