Mississippi (Outtake from ”Time Out of Mind”) Bob Dylan

[Verse 1]
Every step of the way we walk the line
Your days are numbered, so are mine
Time is pilin’ up, we struggle and we scrape
We’re all boxed in, nowhere to escape

[Verse 2]
City’s just a jungle; more games to play
Trapped in the heart of it, trying' to get away
I was raised in the country, been workin’ in the town
I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down

[Verse 3]
Ain't got nothing' for you, I had nothing' before
Don’t evеn have anything for myself anymore
Sky's full of firе and the pain's pourin’ down
Nothing you can sell me, I’ll see you around

[Verse 4]
All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
They'll never do you justice in reason or rhyme
Only one thing that I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

[Verse 5]
Well, the devil’s in the alley, mule’s kicking' in the stall
Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all
I was thinking’ about the things that Rosie said
I was dreaming I was sleepin' in Rosie’s bed
