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 im trying to change

But thats just another lie

Its been a day and a half

And im 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 viens



And when the daylight dissapeared

I took a good look inside

Behind my pride

I sat down and cried

I know im not a fool

But i dont know whats wrong

Mabe its time to pack

And just move on



And i could say im trying to change

But that would just be a lie

Im lookin for some one to tell me why
