What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Every step of the way
2
We walk the line
3
Your days are numbered
4
So are mine
5
Time is piling up
6
We struggle and we scrape
7
All boxed in
8
Nowhere to escape
9
The city's just a jungle
10
More games to play
11
I'm trapped in the heart of it
12
Trying to get away
13
I was raised in the country
14
Been working in the town
15
I been in trouble since I
16
Set my suitcase down
17
I ain't got nothing for you
18
I had nothing before
19
Don't even have anything
20
For myself anymore
21
Sky's full of fire
22
And the rain is pouring down
23
There's nothing you can sell me
24
So I'll see you around
25
All my powers of expression
26
And thoughts so sublime
27
Could never do you justice
28
Reason or rhyme
29
There's only one thing that I did wrong
30
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
31
The devil's in the alley
32
The mule kickin' in the stall
33
Say anything you wanna
34
I've heard it all
35
I was thinking about the things that she said
36
I was dreaming I was sleeping in you bed
37
Walking through the leaves
38
Falling from the trees
39
Feel like a stranger nobody sees
40
So many things we never will undo
41
I know you're sorry, well I'm sorry too
42
Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
43
Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
44
I need something strong to distract my mind
45
I'm gonna look at you till my eyes go blind
46
Well I got here, following the southern star
47
I crossed that river just to be where you are
48
There's only one thing that I did wrong
49
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
50
Well my ship's been split to splinters
51
I's sinking fast
52
I'm drowning in the poison
53
Got no future
54
Got no past
55
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
56
I've got nothing but affection for those who've sailed with me
57
Everybody's moving if they ain't already there
58
Everybody's got to move somewhere
59
Well stick with me baby anyhow
60
Things should start to get interesting right about now
61
My clothes are wet
62
Tight on my skin
63
Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
64
I know that fortune is waiting to be kind
65
So give me your hand and say you'll be mine
66
The emptiness is endless
67
Cold as clay
68
You can always come back
69
But you can't come back all the way
70
Well there's only one thing that I did wrong
71
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
72
Yeah the only thing that I did wrong
73
Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
74
The only thing that I did wrong
75
Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
