Tom McRae - One Mississippi lyrics
Your rating:
Got no gloves and I don't wear a hat and these streets are calling I forgot the reasons I came Walk a mile and I cross the bridge to where the heat of inner stream meets cold river air And I wonder if I will survive the wave that'll drown this place It's a clockwork planet and I've broken every key Trying to keep the time from twisting out of reach And it's one Mississippi it is two times grip is slipping it is three Mississippi time stands still Got no home and I made no plans and this city holds me in the palm of its hand and it sings "this is where you will catch your breath" Well I'm thinking of you and I can hear your words when you said "flying away is for the birds. and by the way, genius, you ain't walking south" It's a clockwork planet and I've broken every key Trying to keep the time from twisting out of reach It's one Mississippi it is two times grip is slipping it is three Mississippi time stands still And it's four Mississippi can we stop the clocks from ticking? it is five Mississippi time stands still Can we spin the world on its axis can we make the clocks run backwards can I only change your history for a day And can I fix you in this movie see us both move in slow motion is that sunrise or sunset? well who can say yeah and it's one Mississippi it is two times grip is slipping it is three Mississippi time stands still Yeah and it's one Mississippi It is two times grip is slipping It is three mississippi Time stands still
