| Asking for forgiveness oh forgive me for my faults
|
| And I hope you never get this but I sent it to your door
|
| And I’ve crossed that Mississippi at least three times before
|
| Oh no without your love I can’t go back there no more
|
| Said oh no without your love I can’t go back there no more
|
| Locked up all your windows and bolted all your doors
|
| And I’ve had some trouble listening my ears are glued to the floor
|
| And oh no you wont see me again, least a year or more
|
| Said my bags are all packed and my shoes are by the back door
|
| Yes my bags are all packed and my shoes are by the back door
|
| You’ve stolen and wasted all my time, time, time
|
| Oh I hope you never get this, for a long long while
|
| These days I’m a mountain man with no one to forgive
|
| Eating soul food out of tin cans is one way you can live
|
| I’ll let you get real close and then, give you the slip
|
| I’m just a little twig floatin down the big ole riv
|
| I’m just a little twig floatin down the big ole riv
|
| You’ve stolen and wasted all my time, time, time
|
| Oh I hope you never get this, for a long long while
|
| Now you stand in place and watch those planes roll by on the tarmac
|
| I’ll lie to your face and tell you I’ll be right back, and disappear
|
| You’ve stolen and wasted all my time, time, time
|
| Oh I hope you never get this |
