Every step of the way, we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Life is piling up, we struggle and we scream We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape City's just a jungle, no games to play Captain of honor, gotta get away I was raised in the country, been working in the town Been in trouble since I set my suitcase down Got nothing for ya, had nothing before Don't even have anything for myself anymore Sky's full of fire, ain't going down Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around All my powers of expression, thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi and stayed too long Well, the devil's in the alley, you kickin' in the stall Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all I was thinking about the things that Rosie said I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees Feel like a stranger here, nobody sees So many things we never will undo I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too Some people will offer you their hand at sudden woe Last night I knew ya, tonight I don't I need something strong to distract my mind I'm gonna look at you till my eyes go blind Got here following a southern star I crossed that river just to be where you are Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi and stayed too long Well, my ship's been split to splinters, and it's sinking fast I'm drowning in a poison, got no future, got no past My heart's not weary, it's light and it's free Got nothing but affection for those insane to me Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there Everybody's got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now My clothes are wet, they're tight on my skin Not as tight as the corners that I've painted myself in I'm no fortune just waiting to be kind So give me your hand and say you'll be mine The emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi and stayed too long My heart's not weary, it's light and it's free Got nothing but affection for those insane to me Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there Everybody's got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now Thanks for watching!
