One Mississippi, two Mississippi Counting down the seconds Standing in the wreckage of love On a cold grey Jackson dawn Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading I see your already gone Half of who I used to be, one Mississippi Lipstick on the coffee cup I know I should wash it up But maybe I'll just wait here for a little while I run my fingers around the top Where your lips were I just stop Cause I, I can almost see your smile And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi Counting down the seconds Standing in the wreckage of love On a cold grey Jackson dawn And I know everybody's got their demons Everybody's got their reasons Why they leave when they run Oh but baby I could have helped you through it You built a wall and I couldn't get to it Now I'm waiting for the rain, and the pain to come And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi Counting down the seconds Standing in the wreckage of love On a cold grey Jackson dawn Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading I see your already gone Half of who I used to be, one Mississippi Oh one Mississippi yeah yeah yeah
