lyrics

When that Mississippi flies
I hear a steamboat sigh
Just go on past the city lights
You hear them scream all night

Lay me down in a grave of wild flowers
It'll be the last thing I see before I die
I loved you most for what it's worth
Now I'm going to rest in this cold brown earth
And ride to hell in the pocket of your shirt

When that storm rolls on the tide
I lift my skirt up high
Everything you're hiding when you lie
They do outright

When that Mississippi cries
The waves they go up high
If I live my life good and right
That's where I'll go when I die

There was one last thing I wanted to say
But my mind went blank when I heard it calling my name
I'll stick around all the same
Just to watch our bodies as they decay
And the ants crawl across my fingers as I play
