Seven Mile Breakdown Lyrics

Sometimes I get lonely
and that's a hard thing to say
'till I wound up in the wrong side of Mississippi
a little more then the getaway
don't talk to yourself
'cause after a while you might find
Those empty fields of flat lands
might make you have to lose your mind

feel the heat and the cold
cut the air with a knife
but Georgia's passin' through it
you've never been there your whole life

well don't you know that we'll get through it baby
i just don't see how
you know it's written on the faces
of every little passin' town

the sun is sinking down on the delta
seven miles is the only sign that lights our way
I hope someone is there to care about me
I'm gonna tear this whole place down
and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way, alright
well let me get right down to it
I just can't get enough
You know you hate being down
before you ever loved being up

so come on Mississippi
don't point your finger at me
just put me on your straight and narrow
just as far as my eyes can see
the sun is sinking down on the delta
seven miles is the only sign that lights our way
I hope someone is there to care about me
I'm gonna tear this whole place down
and I'll be on my way

I'm gonna tear this whole place down
and I'll be on my way
I'm gonna tear this whole place down
and I'll be on my way

I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
on my way
