Mississippi Turnpike

       Felt like a stranger                          guiding the ghost.
       Back to     the delta,            back to the open        green.
       Memories are mockingbirds,        I heard a   screen door slam.

                                         Passed by an old    house,    used        to      be      my
                                         Back to the  old    haunt,    used        to      be      my
                                         I’m through complaining or    trying      to      under-

   home.                                                     I’m afraid    she might not miss me,
   scene.                                                    There’s a buick   in the driveway,
   stand.                                                    Didn’t    know who I was kidding then,

       yeah,       when    I’m gone.
   nineteen-           sixtythree.
           till I          just ran.

                   Mississippi       turnpike,       1000    miles     on      my  road.   Too late to

    turn around,   this is how       far     I   go.         Getting   tired of pretending,

   take me where I  wanna            be.                                       Where it feels   like

  me.                                         Where it   feels like

   me.
