Mississippi (Unreleased version #3, Time Out Of Mind)-Bob Dylan

Mississippi(Unreleased version #3, Time Out Of Mind) - Bob Dylan Words and music by bob dylan Every step of the way, we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is piling up, we struggle and we stray Were all boxed in, nowhere to escape Citys just a jungle, more games to play Trapped in the heart of it, tryin to get away I was raised in the country, I been working in the town I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down Got nothing for you, I had nothing before Don't even have anything for myself anymore Sky full of fire, pain pouring down Nothing you can sell me, Ill see you around All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in mississippi a day too long Well, the devils in the alley, mules in the stall Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all I was thinking about the things that rosie said I was dreaming I was sleeping in rosies bed Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees Feeling like a stranger nobody sees So many things that we never will undo I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too Some people will offer you their hand and some won't Last night I knew you, tonight I don't I need something strong to distract my mind I'm gonna look at you til my eyes go blind Well I got here following the southern star I crossed that river just to be where you are Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in mississippi a day too long Well my ships been split to splinters and its sinking fast I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, its light and its free I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me Everybodys moving, if they ain't already there Everybodys got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now My clothes are wet, tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in I know that fortune is waiting to be kind So give me your hand and say youll be mine Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in mississippi a day too long
