Mississippi Nuthin' - Shovels & Rope

Your joy is killing me, I don’t have anything

Remember when we used to wear each other’s clothes

Yeah I’ve been struggling, but I know lots of things

And I got an idea that’s gonna turn on the money hose

Choking on a joke, trying to keep it light

I could never quite get the timing right

But you, you never know how it feels

I got ideas, hmm-mmh

No one knows

We watched you on TV, healthy recovery

The sound was good but you’re always looking down

Don’t take this personally, but man if that was me

I’d make more eye contact with the camera, kinda work the crowd

You probably think I called to say that you were right

But I’m black out drunk in a cotton field on a Friday night

And I got nothing to do but tell you how I feel

I got ideas, ooh-ooh-ooh

So watch out

You always think I’m bluffing

Like I’m some kind of Mississippi Nuthin'

But I was first-string quarterback

Drove you everywhere

Oh that time where I’d have hit you so hard

You tried to drive and wrecked your car

And I had to help you wash the blood out of your hair

'Cause I’ve always been, that kind of go-to friend

Well maybe it’s true

Maybe I’m just a blue collared version of you

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh

You’re on a winning streak

Well I got laid off last week

I got a plan that’s gonna turn it all around

I got ideas, I got ideas

No one knows
