LyricMeaning

Hannibal, MO
Dolorean

I had a true love from Hannibal

Where the Mississippi turns flat and wide

We'd lay out on the sandbars

And fall asleep to the barges and the fireflies

And I killed my true love from Hannibal

She was nineteen and I was twenty-two

Summer was ending and she was leaving soon

To study writing on the east coast

And I worked in my father's shop

Fixing air conditioners and heating pumps

Going to college never made much sense to me

I wanted to keep my true love close to me


The summers are hot in Hannibal

The summers there are unbearable

So we'd steal down to the water's edge

And cool off in the river's ebb

One night we decided what we would do

Swim to the middle ‘til our strength gave out


Where the current was strong and deep

Together we'd be pulled down to sleep

So we swam ‘til our bodies were weak

I watched my true love get washed out to sea

I felt a terrible grip from beneath

The river took her but it didn't take me


In St. Louis there's a prison cell

It'll be twelve more years ‘til I get out

When I do her father says he'll shoot me down

If I don't do it myself


Most days I just try and sleep

I dream of Hannibal when it was in between

It's not quite day and it's not yet night

We fall asleep to the barges and the fireflies
