Lost In Mississippi

 Meet Me By the Back Door
© 2009 Blues Waide Music – All Rights Reserved

Meet me by your back door, baby
So we can leave this town behind
Meet me by you back door, baby
So we can leave this town behind
By the time that sun goes down
Ain't no suff'rin on our minds

Grab your hat and jacket baby
We're going in the run
Don't care about what your daddy says
He ain't let you have no fun
Girl I got the perfect place in mind
The finest to be found
They're drinking wine and cuttin' lines
And passing drinks around
Meet me by your back door, baby
So we can leave this town behind
By the time that sun goes down
Ain't no suff'rin on our minds

Pulled up into that hotel parking lot
Your eyes betray the thought your lips could not
Kiss you once real softly on that spot behind your ear
Reach down in the back seat for a cold six pack of beer
Meet me by your back door, baby
So we can leave this town behind
By the time that sum comes up
Singing "Georgia On My Mind"



Lost In Mississippi

I'm lost in Mississippi
Tupelo is where I'm found
I'm lost in Mississippi
Tupelo is where I'm found
Find me on the back roads
I'll be burning one down

Nobody loves me
Nobody knows my name
Nobody loves me
Nobody knows my name
Hard times and troubles
I've got myself to blame

Going down to the crossroads
Make a deal on my soul
Going down to the crossroads
Make a deal on my soul
Rather go to hell, baby
Than die alone in Tupelo


Gone Bad Blues

I went down to the station
Suitcase in my hands
I went down to the station
Suitcase in my hands
Had to leave my baby
Messing with another man

I went down to the station
Left my woman standing there crying
I went down to the station
Left my woman standing there crying
Lord that man she been loving
Living on borrowed time

I went down to the station
Sheriff on my trail
I went down to the station
Sheriff on my trail
Catch the first thing smoking
I won't spend my life in jail


Where Did You Go?

Watching the miles wind down
On the highway signs
Wondering how long it will take
To get you off my mind
It's 2:00 in the morning
I'm rolling into town
Hold out for one more minute before you drag me
Down to the ground

Can't stand to feel like this
But you won't let me go
So tell me, baby, where did you go?

You used to be so happy
When I was around
Now I see you out on the streets
All over town
What ever made you hate me
Here me like you do
Can't we just start all over
Brand new

Can't stand to live like this
And I don't want to die alone
So tell me, baby, where did you go?

Can't stand to live like this
And I don't want to die alone
So tell me, baby, where did you go?


Ain't Got You

I've been thinking about going
Insane
Maybe rearranging
My brain
Jump in front of a train
Try on some pain after the rain

I need something outside of
The norm
My whole life is tattered
And worn
Got holes in my shoes
Gonna shake these blues after the storm
'Cause I ain't got nothing
If I ain't got you

I think I'm gonna lose
My mind
After everything I'd say it's a-
Bout time
Hitch a ride down south
To the river's mouth
It's time to go
61's the bill
Clarksdale, Greenville
I don't know
'Cause I ain't got nothing
No, I ain't got nothing
If I ain't got you
I ain't got nothing
No, I ain't got nothing
If I ain't got you


Since You've Been Gone
© 2008 Blues Waide Music – All Rights Reserved

Pulled up outside your home
But the lights weren't on
This old, cold feeling's fallen
Since you've been gone

Stopped by your work today
Like I do most every day
just to get a chance to say
Won't you please come home

Why does it feel so good to see your smiling face
Why does my heart break every time you go away
If you would let me love you, baby, just one day

Sit right down at the bar
Start drinking way too hard
Can't even find my car
Since you've been gone

Find someone for tonight
Just to get me through the night
But it don't feel right
Won't you please come home

Why does it feel so good to see your smiling face
Why does my heart break every time you go away
If you would let me love you, baby, just one day

Why does it feel so good to see your smiling face
Why does my heart break every time you go away
If you would let me love you, baby, just one day


Gone

She's going home
She's going home to stay
She's going home
She's going home to stay
Nothing I can do to change her mind
All the words get in the way

She's going home
She's going home for good
She's going home
She's going home for good
She's done made up her mind
Like she said she would

My baby's gone
Gone and left me all alone
My baby's gone
Gone and left me all alone
Don't know what I'm gonna do without that woman
Guess I'll play the blues all night long
