I've got half a tank of gas, sun spots on the dash A shirt that smells a bit too much like you I've got a lover i don't love, a heart too tired to bluff A throne that i don't think i can use I have tried to tell me friends that i'm aiming for the fences Still i'm heavy with the sense i could've been happy In Meridian Well we lost that demon fight one long wreckless night When the sun came up i saw had to go I've got a lover who don't love me, guess that's just what i deserve, see The symmetry of reaping what you sow I have tried to tell my self that i don't owe no one else Still i'm aching with the sense i could've been happy In Meridian And do you miss me, Mississippi? Did you see how long i stalled, Oh I let the engine idle, gave the light an extra cycle Then tore my eyes from your door Next time that I fall, let it be hard or not at all Pull me up swinging from the dirt and smile along Tell me about your kids and wife The house, the trees, the tidy life We always knew you've land on I won't stay too long, I've learned when to move on Just had to see what could have been To see you happy in Meridian So glad you're happy in Meridian
