I've been searching for the higher ground I've heard some stories about the Ghost in this town I would tell you if you stick around For Mississippi Take all of my money cause it doesn't by love Give me all your time because it's never enough In a moment of madness Take me to the moment where we fell in love Through Mississippi In a moment of madness I jumped into your wishing well With a pocket full of copper to weigh me down I'll count on you To seal the wholes in my false hope You'll be my river when I'm all alone And in return I'll sail your shores I hope your tidal wave falls short Please fall short I've been trying to read your thoughts I don't think that your reasons were enough I'll build myself a raft and sail the great ocean To Mississippi Darling I must ask is there love in your blood Darling I must have you ever know love I'll question every aspect and if your the one Oh Mississippi You felt our love and you broke both arms You tried and tested every part I think you wasted our last chance Oh Mississippi Your river banks weren't strong enough You hide your tears and you shook them off Six's weeks in your care did strain Mississippi In a moment of madness I jumped into your wishing well With a pocket full of copper to weigh me down I'll count on you To seal the wholes in my false hope You'll be my river when I'm all alone And in return I'll sail your shores I hope your tidal wave falls short Please fall short When the bank caves in And you flood the towns with water from the gulf Lake eye tides they flow Your the start of something that was beautiful I can fix you I can mend you I can make you run again Like you used to Like your meant to We can drown just like we planned In a moment of madness I jumped into your wishing well With a pocket full of copper to weigh me down I'll count on you To seal the wholes in my false hope You'll be my river when I'm all alone And in return I'll sail your shores I hope your tidal wave falls short Please fall short
