the secret sisters – mississippi lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
all my life, i ain’t ever been a lucky man
saw the back of my daddy’s hand
lost your mama to the promised land
in my time, i ain’t ever had a thing that’s mine
’til they handed me a baby fine
my little girl

[pre-chorus 1]
there are only two things i know
i get ugly when the whiskey flows
wanted you to know i love you so
and i would k!ll before i let you go

[chorus]
taking off for mississippi
wearing someone else’s name
brought you in this world and i
can take you from it just the same
if you leave for mississippi
i will beat you at your game
brought you in this world and i
can take you from it just the same

[verse 2]
my dear one
heard you’re whispering your plans to run
off to marry some rich man’s son
i bet he’s never met a poor man’s gun

[pre-chorus 2]
in the darkness you could not see
the drunken devil instructing me
two bullets in a crimson sea
now i’m certain that you’ll never be

[chorus]
taking off for mississippi
wearing someone else’s name
brought you in this world and i
can take you from it just the same
if you leave for mississippi
i will beat you at your game
brought you in this world and i
can take you from it just the same

[verse 3]
grief and sin
when the righteousness of you sets in
and the blood in my veins begins to ramble on
now i know we can stand and judge the execution man
but we all have to make a trembling stand before the sun

[outro]
maple tree
can your branches carry me?
before the war, before the wine
before i stole what wasn’t mine
can you bring my baby back to me?
