Possumhaw up against a pale grey sky
Tennessee winter, man the sun don't shine
Thinking bout my family. Thinking bout my friends.
I'm thinking bout the way things might have been
Just thinking bout the way things might have been
Mississippi River on the Tennessee side
Tennessee winter man the sun don't shine
See the channel changing. Listen to the wind.
I'm thinking bout the way things might have been.
Just thinking bout the way things might have been.
And the river rose. The river grows.
The water takes away.
And oh my soul, how the pain it grows
But the water takes away.
Listen to the tin roof singing in the pale moonlight.
Wonder why he's always so sad at night.
Hear/see the rain falling on the earth's skin.
I'm thinking bout the way things might have been.
Just thinking bout the way things might have been.
And the river rose. The river grows.
The water takes away.
And oh my soul, how the pain it grows
But the water takes away.
