Ghost Along The Mississippi lyrics

In the morning, it takes me quite a while to clear my head
And as the day moves on, I find it hard to smile at something said
So I took control, priority number one, and that`s me
Then I cut the dragon`s head off, and put away my gun, so let it be
So let it be

I`m dying prematurely, I`m wasting my life for sure
I`m trying to kill what`s happening to me
A ghost along the Mississippi

I never thought before, a life could be so strange, but it is
And I guess my one a day, became ten or twelve or more, and more
But I`ve got a gift, it`s something called my friends or love
With them and I combined, I`ll beat an early end, it`s been done before

No time of passing away, of 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
