Marry Mississippi Lyrics – Olivia Barnes
12 more minutes said that I’ll be there in ten.
And I see Colorado and a head rush sinking in.
And my hands are tied from the wheel under my skin.
And if I get locked up, then I’ll just change my name again.
And he said I look pretty when my eyes are burning red.
And he spit out of the window all the other things he said.
Cause he used to be my baby, now he’s underneath my dread.
And if I get locked up, well then he’s just as good as dead.
If I stay in Colorado, if I stay on the bottle, if I lose my faith and walk for forty days.
And if I marry Mississippi, do you think you’ll miss me?
Hide away or never see the light of day.
Oh, run for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles.
Oh, run for miles.
When I meet the river and I kiss her on the bend.
She took me out to dinner or she took me in the bed.
And she tastes just like the water flowing from the mountain’s edge.
When I left the Rockies, oh, she’s all that I had left.
If I stay in Colorado, if I stay on the bottle, if I lose my faith and walk for forty days.
And if I marry Mississippi, do you think you’ll miss me?
Hide away or never see the light of day.
Oh, run for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles.
Oh, run for miles.
Do you want a winner when the gas is off?
Can you pick a winner when you count your loss?
Can you take a picture when you’re in the dark?
Keep it in your pocket so it burns your heart.
Do you want a winner when the gas is off?
Can you pick a winner when you count your loss?
Can you take a picture when you’re in the dark?
Keep it in your pocket so it burns your heart.
If I stay in Colorado, if I stay on the bottle, if I lose my faith and walk for forty days.
And if I marry Mississippi, do you think you’ll miss me?
Hide away or never see the light of day.
Oh, run for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles.
Oh, run for miles.
Do you want a winner when the gas is off?
Can you pick a winner when you count your loss?
Can you take a picture when you’re in the dark?
Keep it in your pocket so it burns your heart.
