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 wont be long
And I could say I'm trying to change But that's just another lie Its 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 thru 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 its 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
