In Oxford Mississippi - Jon Langford

My dog just ran away, and I am feeling pretty bad I've been sneaking out at night, and my parents are real mad I've been taking lots of drugs 'cause they teach me not to care Yeah, I guess that's how you cheat because life doesn't play Fair My brother told me that he's gonna kill himself tonight With a whole bottle of Prozac or a shiny kitchen knife He says when he's dead, I can have his Nintendo 64 And I can stay up all night long, playing on the basement Floor My girlfriend told me that she doesn't love me anymore And I wish I didn't care, but I thought she was pretty cool So I drank a ton of liquor, then I threw up in her sink She said, "Next time use the toilet," then she offered me a- A drink

I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand, But my head's in Mississippi. I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand, But my head's in Mississippi. The blues has got a hold of me. I believe I'm gettin' dizzy. (Spoken: Help me now.) I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis, Lord, I thought I was in Heaven. I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis, I thought I was in Heaven. But I was stumblin' thru the parking lot Of an invisible seven eleven. (Spoken: What was I doin out there?) Last night I saw a cowgirl. She was floatin' across the ceiling. And last night I saw a naked cowgirl. She was floatin' across the ceiling. She was mumblin to some howlin' wolf About some voodoo healin'. (Spoken: Mmm Baby.) Where's my head baby? Somewhere in Mississippi.

They call me Blue eyed Dan a shell of a man but I was half way home I didn't seem to have much of a plan but I was half way home I said I was coming back to stay But a lot of things can happen along the way I was half way home You were waiting on the southbound train I was half way home But the platform was empty as it rolled away, half way home The hills and the valleys all looked the same And I met someone who remembered my name I was half way home, I was half way home Down by the river saying "Stand and deliver!" I was half way home Dirty thirty eyes like a birdie half way home I jumped up to reach the top But the law kept coming and bagged the lot I was halfway home halfway home My heart starts pumping when I think of your, half way home You're never gonna look into those eyes of blue, I was half way home Cross the street, open the door Nobody here really cares anymore Half way home, I was half way home Heart starts pumping, hearts start pumping Half way home Half way home Heart starts pumping, hearts start pumping I was half way home Yeah, I was half way home I was half way home Heart starts pumping, hearts start pumping Half way home Half way home
