Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late one night behind corn whiskey
I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi
And the blues came walking like a man
[Verse 2]
Without a word, I passed that guitar over
He tuned it up like I'd never seen
A crooked smile was his expression
Then he closed his eyes and began to sing
[Verse 3]
Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
[Verse 4]
When I woke up, I looked into the mirror
I saw no reflection for a while
But as my eyes came into focus
I recognized that crooked smile
[Verse 5]
Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
[Verse 6]
Late one night behind corn whiskey
I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi
And the blues came walking like a man
[Verse 7]
Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
[Verse 8]
Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
[Verse 9]
I don't wanna be
Where I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
