One Mississippi

It’s 3 am

And ain’t I slept

So I'm trying to find a cure on the internet

There’s a warmth I can’t find sleeping alone

That you can't replace with melatonin

So here I am on an online forum

Looking for some help

They say closing your eyes

And counting to ten

Works as good as anything else

One one-thousand

Two one-thousand

I close my eyes, but I can’t rest

Three short prayers

Four beers later

I should say another to repent

Five sheep jumpin’

Six cylinders pumpin’

Takes me back to a slammin’ door

Lying in this bed

I can’t take one Mississippi more

I’ve listened to songs about sleeping alone

Picked up and put down my cell phone

And I when I start to shut my eyes

Your memory works its way into my mind

Hot flash, I’m on my feet

Get sad and then angry, rinse and repeat

I guess I’ll just DoorDash Taco Bell

To this one-and-a-half bath prison cell

One one-thousand

Two one-thousand

I close my eyes, but I can’t rest

Three short prayers

Four beers later

I should say another to repent

Five sheep jumpin’

Six cylinders pumpin’

Takes me back to a slammin’ door

Lying in this bed

I can’t take one Mississippi more

And I wonder if you're lying in bed, sleeping well

Or are have you lost feeling staring ceiling

Thinking to yourself

One one-thousand

Two one-thousand

I close my eyes but I can’t rest

Three short prayers

Four beers later

I should say another to repent

Five sheep jumpin’

Six cylinders pumpin’

Takes me back to a slammin’ door

Lying in this bed

I can’t take one Mississippi more
