I'm running slow up against the sky
Where I cross the waves 'cause baby I'm trying
To get away from you
I needed space from you
The love we share is a rope that binds
Make me lose my way and lose my mind
Leave me black and blue
You know it do
And I'm a far way from Dixie
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
And I'm a far way from Dixie
Ride on, Mississippi, away from home
You tell, you tell, and you tell it sweetly
But you're on a J, and there you meet
But I can see you right through
You know I do
Many neighbors are sweet as a Southern sky
When the sun goes by, when eat the pie
But when the light comes through
They keep their eye on you
And I'm a far way from Dixie
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
And I'm a far way from Dixie
Ride on, Mississippi, away from home
(And I'm a far way from Dixie)
(Away from Dixie)
(Away from Dixie)
(And I'm a far way from Dixie)
(Away from Dixie)
(Away from Dixie)
(And I'm a far)
And even two more routes, you and I is twine
Your blood is yours, yours is mine
I got you in my bones
No matter where I roam
And I'm a far way from Dixie
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
And I'm a far way from Dixie
Ride on, Mississippi, away from home
And I'm a far way from Dixie
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone, yeah
And I'm a far way from Dixie
Ride on, Mississippi, away from home
Ride on, Mississippi, away from home
Ride on, Mississippi, away from home
