Come on baby let's get out of this town 
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down 
There's a chill in my bones
I don't want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while I drive 

I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar 
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I got some money I saved 
Enough to get underway 
And baby you can sleep while I drive

We'll go thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe 
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay 
I'll buy you glasses in Texas a hat from New Orleans 
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams 

You know I've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You've been looking for something 
That's not in your life 
My intentions are true 
Won't you take me with you 
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Oh is it other arms you want to
Hold you the stranger 
The lover you're free
Can't you get that with me


Come on baby let's get out of this town 
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down 
If you won't take me with you 
I'll go before night is through 
And baby you can sleep while I drive 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 #1, and that's me
So I cut the dragons head off and put away my gun
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 a guess anyone a day, because 10 or 12 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
Nothing of passing away, or losing just one more day
I'm dying to kill what's wrong with me
A ghost along the Mississippi

Can't happen to me
Won't do it to me
