(Verse)
|
Well you’re not from around here
|
You’re probably not our kind
|
It’s hot from March to Christmas
|
And other things you’ll find
|
|
(Verse)
|
Won’t fit your old ideas
|
Their line is shifting sands,
|
You walk across a ghostly bridge
|
To a crumbling promise land
|
|
(Chorus)
|
If Jesus came from Mississippi
|
If tears began to rise
|
I guess I’ll start at the beginning
|
The world of strange design
|
|
(Verse)
|
Well I’d like to have the ocean
|
But I’d settle for the rain
|
Humbly as for true love
|
There was such a price to pay
|
|
(Verse)
|
This room was filled with trouble
|
And sacraments deceived
|
And I’m with you, we’re in the shade
|
Of his weeping willow tree
|
|
(Chorus)
|
If Jesus came from Mississippi
|
If tears began to rise
|
I’ll have to go back to the beginning
|
In this world of strange design
|
|
(Verse)
|
We talk about your drinking
|
But not about your thirst
|
You set off through the mine field
|
Like you were round in first
|
|
(Verse)
|
So open up their window
|
And hand the baby through
|
Point up towards the ghostly bridge
|
And she’ll know what to do
|
|
(Chorus)
|
If Jesus came from Mississippi
|
If tears began to rise
|
They’ll have to go back to the beginning
|
In this world of strange design
|
