I'm standing in the shadows with an aching heartI'm looking at the world tear itself apartAnd it's turned to hours, hours turned to daysI'm still loving you in a million waysWell the devil's in the alley, there's a mule kicking in my stallSay anything you wanna, I have heard it allI was raised in the country, I've been working in townI've been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase downWell I ain't got nothing for you, I had nothing beforeDon't even have anything for myself anymoreThe sky is full of fire, pain is pouring downThere's nothing you can sell me, I'll see you aroundWell I got here following the Southern starI crossed that river just to be where you areThere's only one thing I did wrongStayed in Mississippi a day too longWell I've been loving you too long, I know you ain't no goodDon't make a bit of difference to me, don't see why it shouldI was thinking about the things that Rosie saidI was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bedWell I'm walking through the leaves falling from the treesI feel like a stranger nobody seesSo many things we never will undoI know you're sorry, I'm sorry tooSome people will offer their hand and some won'tLast night I knew ya, tonight I don'tI need something strong to distract my mindI'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blindWell everybody's moving, God knows whereBut I'm still here, you're still thereOnly one thing I did wrongStayed in Mississippi a day too longWell my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fastI'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no pastBut my heart is not weary, it's light and it's freeI got nothing but affection for those who have sailed with meWinter goes into the summer, summer goes into fallI look into the mirror, don't see anything at allStick with me, baby, stick with me anyhowThings should start to get interesting right about nowMy clothes are wet, tight on my skinAnd as tight as the corner that I've painted myself inI know good fortune is waiting to be kindSo give me your hand and say you'll be mineThe emptiness is endless, cold as the clayYou can always come back, but you can't come back all the wayOnly one thing that I did wrongStayed in Mississippi a day too long
