What should I do Mississippi?

 

[Verse]

I’m staring at the river It don’t stare back

Clouds are whispering secrets

Sky’s turning black I got a map with no roads

Just empty tracks What should I do Mississippi?

 

[Chorus]

What should I do Mississippi?

Tell me where to go

Tell me what I need

I’m lost in the flow

Caught in the reeds

Oh What should I do Mississippi?

 

[Verse 2]

The trees are swaying like they’ve got a clue

The crickets chirp a rhythm I can’t break through

I’m talking to the wind but it won’t answer true

What should I do Mississippi?

 

[Prechorus]

You’re wide

You’re deep

You carry the blues

Do you hold the answers or just more clues?

 

[Chorus]

What should I do Mississippi?

Tell me where to go

Tell me what I need

I’m lost in the flow

Caught in the reeds

Oh What should I do Mississippi?

 

[Bridge]

Is it the current or the banks that decide?

Is it better to swim or just hitch a ride?

I’m searching for meaning in your endless tide

But you just keep rolling Mississippi
