Mississippi (Live at St Pancras)

Lyrics

(Ashes to ashes, dust to dust If the women don't get ya, the whiskey must) When I rest my eyes, I see all these ghosts The more I try to push them back, the more they crowd close All those hurts I've caused, all those hurts I've known But worst of all, the chances offered and chances blown I can't let go Of all the fuckers that have done me wrong Gonna get 'em back before long I can't let go Of all the damage that I did my bro Didn't mean to treat him so I can't let go Of all the people I will never be Barriers in front of me I can't let go Of all the things I wish I never did Even back when I was just a kid I can't let go When I lost my pa, when that moment come I lumped those thoughts with all the rest in my cranium I still feel that beat, I still hear those drums And they thump on and on and on, ever closer I can't let go Of how he looked when he got so thin It seemed like I could see through him I can't let go Of how I felt when I heard that breath The second that I first saw death I can't let go Of how another had to close his eyes Jesus, I was paralyzed I can't let go Of who he was and what he left behind It's always in the back of my mind I can't let go M-I-double S-I-double S-I-P-P-I What's wrong? M-I-double S-I-double S-I-P-P-I
