mississippi radio

I'm always off how far to push, before I'm losing control
Of a past I cannot seem to let go, oh I'm breaking down
But my folly-filled roads are rear-view bound, leavin' em behind
Sweep you up thumb out Highway 55, and them Delta skies

'Cause if you're gonna go then go, else listen to the waves off this Mississippi radio
Hear them play those blues, restin' 'tween these rivers a rushin' 'round you
'Cause I've been flooded with full-blood beating, a broken levee rhythm for my burnt love singing
About you

I used to find comfort in feigning truth, but now I run
Toward the confluence of all that I've done, and I'm reaching out
My hands are scorned from fighting doubt, so come with me
Let's head down that river to New Orleans, let's see what we see

Southern style, daffodil, resting on the river like a window sill
Burnt skies, paddle steam, pushing on toward something more serene
And I'll get high, 'fore sinking low, singing along to this three-day blow
So let's dance ...

But if you're gonna stay then stay, let's wear those masks that take us away
And we can dance till flight to the jazz that makes such light of the night

'Cause I've been flooded with full-blood beating, a broken levee rhythm for my burnt love singing
About you
