And as the day moves onI find it hard to smile at something said

So I took controlpriority number oneand that s me

Then I cut the dragon s head offand put away my gunso let it be

So let it be

I m dying prematurelyI m wasting my life for sure

I m trying to kill what s happening to me

A ghost along the Mississippi

I never thought beforea life could be so strangebut it is

And I guess my one a daybecame ten or twelve or moreand more

But I ve got a giftit s something called my friends or love

With them and I combinedI ll beat an early endit s been done before

No time of passing awayof losing just one more day

I m trying to kill what s happening to me

A ghost along the Mississippi

Can t happen to me

Won t do it to me

Can t happen to me

Won t do it to me

Can t happen to me

Won t do it to me

Destroying what s got ahold of me

No more the ghost of Mississippi
