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 smelled death in the air
And I know it
won't be long
And I could say
I'm tryin' to change
But that's just another lie
It's been a day and a half
and I'm still high
And I feel like
Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Like Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
J-J-Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Like Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
through my veins
When the daylight
disappeared
I took a good look inside
Behind my pride
I sat down and cried
I know I'm not a fool
But I don't know
what's wrong
Maybe it's time to pack
and just move on
And I could say
I'm tryin' to change
But that's just another lie
I'm lookin' for someone
to tell me why
I feel like
Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
J-J-Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
Like Jackson Mississippi
A river runnin'
through my veins
A river runnin'
A river runnin'
through my veins
A river runnin'
through my veins, yeah
A river that's runnin'
through my veins
