Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm running slow up against the sky Where I cross the waves 'cause baby I'm trying To get away from you I needed space from you The love we share is a rope that binds Make me lose way and lose my mind Leave me black and blue You know it do [Chorus] And I'm a far way from Dixie You're gonna miss me when I'm gone And I'm a far way from Dixie Ride on, Mississippi, away from home [Verse 2] You tell, you tell, and you tell it sweetly But you're on a J, and there you meet But I can see you right through You know I do Many neighbors are sweet as a Southern sky When the sun goes by, when eat the pie But when the light comes through They keep their eye on you [Chorus] And I'm a far way from Dixie You're gonna miss me when I'm gone And I'm a far way from Dixie Ride on, Mississippi, away from home (And I'm a far way from Dixie) (Away from Dixie) (Away from Dixie) (And I'm a far way from Dixie) (Away from Dixie) (Away from Dixie) (And I'm a far) [Bridge] And even two more routes, you and I is twine Your blood is yours, yours is mine I got you in my bones No matter where I roam [Chorus] And I'm a far way from Dixie You're gonna miss me when I'm gone And I'm a far way from Dixie Ride on, Mississippi, away from home And I'm a far way from Dixie You're gonna miss me when I'm gone, yeah And I'm a far way from Dixie Ride on, Mississippi, away from home Ride on, Mississippi, away from home Ride on, Mississippi, away from home
