Mississippi Moon

Dim lights on the old marquee

Don't say that you left me

You don't have to hear me sing to know it's over

Cause it's written all over my face

Been broken down for days

Got tired of staying that way, now I'm older

I got old wood, new strings

Sad songs that I can sing

And a broken-hearted point of view

And smoke so thick, you can't see through

And it's a hard pill to take

Real pain that I can't fake

And it's gonna take a while to get over you

Underneath this Mississippi moon

Gambling towns get me down

Ever since I lost the luck I found

Now the lights are going down on me

But I stay here in my place

I don't dare move away

Cause I got three songs to play about losing

I got old wood, new strings

Sad songs that I can sing

And a broken-hearted point of view

And smoke so thick, you can't see through

And it's a hard pill to take

Real pain that I can't fake

And it's gonna take a while to get over you

Underneath this Mississippi moon

Where I can't get to you

And there's nothing I can do

So I just run away

Long moon with stars gonna shine

And I ain't got enough time

So I beat your memory to the ground

I got old wood, new strings

Sad songs that I can sing

And a broken-hearted point of view

And smoke so thick, you can't see through

And it's a hard pill to take

Real pain that I can't fake

And it's gonna take a while to get over you

I got old wood, new strings

Sad songs that I can sing

And a broken-hearted point of view

And smoke so thick, you can't see through

And it's a hard pill to take

Real pain that I can't fake

And it's gonna take a while to get over you

Underneath this Mississippi moon
