[00:06.03]Every step of the way, we walk the line
[00:12.06]Your days are numbered, so are mine
[00:18.87]Time is piling up, we struggle and we stray
[00:24.96]We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape
[00:31.22]City's just a jungle, more games to play
[00:37.47]Trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away
[00:42.73]I was raised in the country, I been working in the town
[00:49.33]I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down
[00:55.54]Got nothing for you, I had nothing before
[01:01.52]Don't even have anything for myself anymore
[01:07.80]Sky full of fire, Pain pouring down
[01:13.63]Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around
[01:19.77]All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
[01:25.80]Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme
[01:31.85]Only one thing I did wrong
[01:37.57]Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
[01:50.47]Well, the devil's in the alley, mule's in the stall
[01:56.53]Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all
[02:02.26]I was thinking about the things that Rosie said
[02:07.76]I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed
[02:14.27]Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
[02:20.29]Feeling like a stranger nobody sees
[02:26.06]So many things that we never will undo
[02:32.40]I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too
[02:38.43]Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
[02:44.61]Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
[02:50.30]I need something strong to distract my mind
[02:56.02]I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind
[03:02.18]Well I got here following the southern star
[03:08.28]I crossed that river just to be where you are
[03:14.13]Only one thing I did wrong
[03:19.30]Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
[03:31.66]Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
[03:38.03]I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past
[03:44.24]But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
[03:50.17]I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me
[03:56.62]Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there
[04:01.95]Everybody's got to move somewhere
[04:07.93]Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
[04:13.45]Things should start to get interesting right about now
[04:19.86]My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
[04:25.33]Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
[04:31.05]I know that fortune is waiting to be kind
[04:37.37]So give me your hand and say you'll be mine
[04:43.58]Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay
[04:49.61]You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way
[04:55.29]Only one thing I did wrong
[05:01.01]Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
