Down Ghosts Along the Mississippi
In the morning it takes me quite a while to clear my head
And as the day moves on I find it hard to smile at something said
So I took control, priority number one, and that's me
Then I cut the dragons head off and put away my gun
So let it be
I'm dying prematurely, I'm wasting my life for sure
I'm trying to kill what's happening to me
A ghost along the Mississippi
I never thought before, how life could be so strange
And I guess my one a day, became ten or twelve or more and more and more
But I've got a gift, it's something called my friends or love
With them and I combined, I'll beat an early end
It's been done before
No timing, of passing away, of losing just one more day
I'm vying to kill what's wrong with me, yes I am
A ghost along the Mississippi
Can't happen to me
Won't do it to me
Destroying what's got hold of me
No more a ghost of Mississippi
