Jackson, Mississippi

Yeaaaaahhhhhh!



When the sunshine showed her face,

I felt like I was ready to die.

Went looking 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 won't be long.



And I could say I'm trying 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')

Ja-Ja-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 trying to change,

but that's just another lie.

I'm looking for someone to tell me why.



I feel like Jackson, Mississippi

(a river runnin')

Like Jackson, Mississippi

(a river runnin')

Ja-Ja-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' athrough my veins,

A river that's runnin' through my veins.
