Mississippi (Version 1) 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, I'm tryin' to get away
I was raised in the country, been a-workin' in the town
I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down

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

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

[Verse 5]
Devil's in the alley, mule kickin' in the stall
Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all
I was thinkin' 'bout the things that Rosie said
I was dreaming I was sleepin' in Rosie's bed
