I'm leavin' your ass dear behind me,
Thanks for the long haul
Thanks for it all
But I'm putting this heartbreak beside me
It's played its roll
It's taken it's toll
And I'm taking myself on vacation
Away from your eyes, give me back what is mine
I'm done with sad song we're singing
Buried it deep
Beneath the mississippi....

Thanks for all the things you never said dear
Avoiding surrender for playing it safe
And for putting me back in the ocean
With all the fish in the sea,
I'm sure there's plenty for me
And bring me the shovel when you're ready
To clean up the mess and
Close the lesson
Dig deep a bounty where we left it
Six inches deep beneath the mississippi..

So I'm
Leaving you ass dear behind me
Thanks for the long haul
Thanks for it all
But I'm putting this heart break beside me
Its played its roll
Its taken its toll
And I'm taking myself on vacation
Away from your eyes
Give me back what is mine
I'm done with the sad song were singing
Bury it deep beneath the mississippi
