Jackson, Mississippi

Yeah

And when the sunshine showed her face

I felt like I was ready to die

Went lookin' for a place to hide

A hole I could crawl inside

Lone 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 tryin' 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') J-J-Jackson, Mississippi

(A river runnin') Like Jackson, Mississippi

A river runnin' through my veins

And 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 tryin' to change

But that's just another lie

I'm lookin' for someone

To tell me why

I feel like Jackson, Mississippi

(A river runnin') Jackson, Mississippi

(A river runnin') J-J-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'

Through my veins, yeah

A river runnin' through my veins
