mississippi, it's time

come on, mississippi, mississippi, don't you reckon it's time, that the flag came down, cause the world turned round, and we can't move ahead if we're lookin' behind, wanna know if you're with me, cause i come from a long long line, of a rebel strain but the wind has changed, mississippi, don't you reckon it's time, look away, mississippi, mississippi, you're on my mind, all the crosses burned and the lessons unlearned, left a scar across my heart and it's ten miles wide, sick of sloggin' through the history of this wounded land of mine, still payin' the cost cause the war was lost, mississippi, don't you reckon it's time, i wish i was in a land that never held a soul in bondage ever, wouldn't have to drag these chains behind, mississippi, it's time, what the hell, mississippi, mississippi, you're out of your mind, mississippi goddamned, even alabam', south carolina came across the line, dixieland will never miss me but i whistle that tune sometimes, and i'll sing it loud when the flag comes down, mississippi, don't you reckon it's time, look away, look away, look away dixieland
