Goodnight Mississippi, goodnight Abilene
Goodnight all you wild horses with broken dreams
Goodnight to the harbor and all the ships at sea
Sailing on their lonely courses just like me
Chorus:
In a way, it's funny that I don't know where I am
I'm afraid to tell you just what state I'm in
The reflection in the mirror can't point e to my home
That's a scary thought when you're all alone
Tonight I'm in Austin and I'm thinking of you
And all the stupid bullshit that I put you through
Smoke curls up a halo and I blow it away
The irony of a cigarette at the end of the day
Chorus
So goodnight Mississippi the sun is sinking low
I hope somewhere the twilight finds a telephone
And dials up your number just to hear you say
How much you miss me and I should come home right away
Chorus
