Iffy

Askin' for forgiveness

Oh, forgive me for my faults

And I hope you never get this

But I sent it to your door

And I've crossed that Mississippi

At least three times before

Oh no, without your love

I can't go back there no more

Said, oh no, without your love

I can't go back there no more

Locked up all your windows

And bolted all your doors

And I've had some trouble listenin'

My ears glued to the floor

And oh no, you won't see me again

Least a year or more

Said, my bags are all packed

And my shoes are by the back door

Said, my bags, they are all packed

And my shoes are by the back door

And you've stolen and wasted all my time

And you've stolen and wasted all my time

And you've stolen and wasted all my time

Time, time

Oh, I hope you never get this

For a long, long while

These days, I'm a mountain man

With no one to forgive

Eating soul food out of tin cans

Is one way you can live

Oh, I'll let you get real close, and then

Give you the slip

Oh hey, I'm just a little twig

Floatin' down the big ol' riv

Said now, I'm just a little twig

Floating down the big ol' riv

And you've stolen and wasted all my time

And you've stolen and wasted all my time

And you've stolen and wasted all my time

Time, time

Oh, I hope you never get this

For a long, long while

Now you stand in place

And watch those planes roll by on the tarmac

And I'll lie to your face

Tell you I'll be right back

And disappear

'Cause you've stolen and wasted all my time

And you've stolen and wasted all my time

Said, you've stolen and wasted all my time

Said, you've stolen and wasted all my time

Said, you've stolen and wasted all my time

Time, time

Oh, I hope you never get this
