Mississippi

(album: No Home But The Road - 2013)

Come on, come on, come on! (oh yeah)
Come on, come on, come on! (oh yeah)

Should've known that's better not to mess with the law
But it feels so right just to be so wrong
Every city's got a scar with a She-Devil's name
I'm a fighter living like the world's on fire

So come on, come on, come on and let's ride
Shotgun sitting on the darker side
Come on, come on, come on and don't stop
Pedal to the floor, can't get enough

Maybe it's too late for me, but I guess we'll see
So let's ride

My only weakness is I'm falling to pieces
But I'm learning to pick myself up
I like cold hard steel, something I can feel
It's on to Mississippi
Let's get to Mississippi right now

I've got Mississippi sitting in the rearview now
.45 in hand, I'm a bad, bad man
Did a little too much sinning in that one horse town
Shameless, got more stories than Vegas

So come on, come on, come on and let's ride
Shotgun sitting on the darker side
Come on, come on, come on and don't stop
Pedal to the floor, can't get enough!

Maybe it's too late for me, but I guess we'll see
So let's ride

My only weakness is I'm falling to pieces
But I'm learning to pick myself up
I like pretty little girls and money in this world
Cold hard steel, something I can feel
So if you want the money
Get a little dirty right now

So take off your uniform and throw it on the floor
Those handcuffs you've been handling
You can check at the door
It's an ugly world with pretty little girls
I love it when you take it too far
Grabbing the headboard
Or bentover the hood of my car

I was ditching blue lights
She'd been hitching all night
Right thigh out like a welcome sign
I said, "You need a ride?"
She said she wanted to drive
Damn right, girl's got an appetite
She said, "Maybe it's too late for me
But I guess we'll see so let's ride"

My only weakness is I'm falling to pieces
But I'm learning to pick myself up
I like pretty little girls and money in this world
Cold hard steel, something I can feel
So if you want the money
Get a little dirty right now

Ooh, I'm a bad, bad boy (bad, bad man)
