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 trying 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'

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 would just be a lie

I'm lookin' for some one to tell me why
