Mississippi Flood

[Verse 1]
I've got flowers but there ain't no grave
You're still walking 'round but nothing's changed
I've stopped breathing but I'm still feeling the pain

[Verse 2]
Everywhere I go, I hear your name
Want to get out, want to get off of this street, out of this place
You're still breathing but you're not feeling the pain
Put out the fire, can't kill the flame

[Chorus]
I, I, I, I know I'm free but still
My hands are tied
Behind my back beside the Mississippi flood
This love won't give up
No, it don't run dry
Why-y-y
It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone
It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone

[Verse 3]
I'm not twisted, bitter, I'm not mad
I just wish you would get off my map
I've been hiding but you keep finding my tracks
Why do you keep on coming back?

[Chorus]
I, I, I, I know I'm free but still
My hands are tied
Behind my back beside the Mississippi flood
This love won't give up
No, it don't run dry
Why-y-y
It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone
It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone

[Chorus]
I, I, I, I know I'm free but still
My hands are tied
Behind my back beside the Mississippi flood
This love won't give up
No, it don't run dry
Why-y-y
It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone
It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone

It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone
It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone
