Mississippi - Unreleased version #3, Time Out Of Mind

I'm standin' in the shadows with an achin' heart
 I'm lookin' at the world tear itself apart
 And it's turned to hours, hours turned to days
 I'm still lovin' you in a million ways
 Well the devil's in the alley, there's a mule kickin' in the stall
 Say anythin' you wanna, I have heard it all
 I was raised in the country, I've been workin' in the town
 I've been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down
 Well I ain't got nothin' for you, I had nothing before
 Don't even have anythin' for myself anymore
 The sky's full of fire, pain is pourin' down
 There's nothin' you can sell me, I'll see you around
 Well, I got here followin' the southern star
 I crossed that river just to be where you are
 There's only one thing I did wrong
 Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
 ♪
 Well I've been lovin' you too long, I know you ain't no good
 It don't make any better difference to me, don't see why it should
 I was thinkin' about the things that Rosie said
 I was dreamin' I was sleepin' in Rosie's bed
 Well I'm walkin' through the leaves, fallin' from the trees
 I feel like a stranger, nobody sees
 So many things, we never will undo
 I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too
 Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
 Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
 I need somethin' strong to distract my mind
 I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind
 Well everybody's movin', God knows where
 But I'm still here and you're still there
 Only one thing I did wrong
 Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
 ♪
 Well, my ship's been split to splinters, and it's sinkin' fast
 I'm drownin' in the poison, got no future, got no past
 But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
 I got nothing but affection for those who have sailed with me
 Winter goes into Summer, Summer goes into Fall
 I look into the mirror, don't see anything at all
 Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
 Things should start to get interestin' right about now
 My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
 Not as tight as the corner that I've painted myself in
 I know fortune is waitin' to be kind
 So give me your hand and say you'll be mine
 The emptiness is endless, cold as the clay
 You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way
 The only one thing that I did wrong
 Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
