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
