lyrics

Music & Lyrics by Elliott Peck & Grahame Lesh

Back in the lowlands after many years away
Vines long and twisted cast a shadow on this space
Cracks in the foundation can’t support the weight you face
I’m a stranger in a land where we don’t have a place

Faces familiar, unwelcoming to most
I was a hostage now float free like a ghost
I came to make amends with all the family I can find
But a foreign land is lonely when they don’t like your kind

He was a long lost friend never knowing he was wrong
I walked off that land the day I turned 21
It’s hard to keep your boots on underneath this blazing sun
Let the Mississippi River carry all your lost souls home

Made up my mind long before that day
Went north to Chester where there was no one to betray
Takes a child to choose a path, and a man to stay away
But the Mississippi calls me every time I’ve strayed

He was a long lost friend never knowing he was wrong
I walked off that land the day I turned 21
It’s hard to keep your boots on underneath this blazing sun
Let the Mississippi River carry all your lost souls home

Took up a trade so I could send some money home
Found a bed to share so I would never be alone
If I could know for certain I would be satisfied
The past could be forgotten and my hand will come untied

He was a long lost friend never knowing he was wrong
I walked off that land the day I turned 21
It’s hard to keep your boots on underneath this blazing sun
Let the Mississippi River wash away the sins
Let the Mississippi River wash away the sins
Let the Mississippi River wash away the sins
Let the Mississippi River carry all your lost souls home
