Ghosts Along the Mississippi

In the morning

It takes me quite a while to clear my head

And as the day moves on

I find it hard to smile at something said

So I took control, priority number one and that's me

But I cut the dragon’s head off

And put away my gun

So let it be, so let it be

I'm dying prematurely

I'm wasting my life for sure

I'm trying to kill what's happening to me

A ghost along the Mississippi

Never thought before that life could be so strange (But it is)

And a guess that one a day

Became ten or twelve more and more and more and more

But I've got a gift

It's something called my friends or love

With them and I combined

I'll beat an early end

It's been done before, it's been done before

No timing for passing away

Of losing just one more day

I'm trying to kill what's wrong with me

Yes I have

A ghost along the Mississippi

Can't happen to me

Won't do it to me

Can't happen to me

Won't do it to me

Can't happen to me

Won't do it to me

Can't happen to me

Won't do it to me

Lets go

Destroying what’s got hold of me

No more the ghost of Mississippi
