Snowed this mornin'
That kind of cold
Where your car won't start
And your heart won't go
The headwaters up here will freeze your bones
But they say I can float this river home
It's that long
Chorus:
The Mississippi river runs so wide
The biggest tear God ever cried
Right now it feels like the great divide
And Lord I want to be on the other side
And Lord I want to be on the other side
Where that icy water turns to mud
And tastes dirty like it always should
Wehre they talk lazy
And they walk slow
And there's gospel in the radio
That's where I want to go
Chorus
50 miles til I get home
But when you're this close miles go twice as long
When I cross over
I'm going to get down
Gonna close my eyes and kiss the ground
Chorus
