  • One Mississippi, two Mississippi
    Counting down the seconds, standing in the wreckage of love
    On a cold grey Jackson dawn
    Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this
    I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading, I see
    You're already gone
    I'm half of who I used to be,
    One Mississippi, hm

    Lipstick on the coffee cup
    I know I should wash it up But maybe I'll
    Just wait here for a little while
    I run my fingers around the top
    Where your lips were I just stop 'cause I,
    I can almost see your smile

    And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi
    Counting down the seconds, standing in the wreckage of love
    On a cold grey Jackson dawn

    And I know everybody's got their demons
    Everybody's got their reasons
    Why they leave when they run
    But baby I could have helped you through it
    You built a wall and I couldn't get to it
    Now I'm waiting for the rain,
    And the pain to come yeah

    And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi
    Counting down the seconds, standing in the wreckage of love
    On a cold grey Jackson dawn
    Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this
    I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading, I see
    You're already gone
    I'm half of who I used to be,
    One Mississippi

    Ooh one Mississippi yeah yeah yeah
    Yeah Writer/s: BRETT ELDRIDGE, TOM DOUGLAS
