Marcy Brothers By The Dawn's Early Light
Well, I'm lying here thinking that I ought to be leaving Cos it's more than halfway right I'm wondering if I ought to wake you up and explain Or leave quietly in the night Well, the latter sounds better, so I pack up my feather And I lean down and kiss you one time I'm gonna miss you, but I'll be in Mississippi By the dawn's early light Hey, by the dawn's early light I'll be in Mississippi Then you won't have to worry about it And I'll be one more loner on the road of life With his thumb out one more time Aw, I hate to be going but I gave you fair warning That I wasn't fit to be tied I'm gonna miss you but I'll be in Mississippi By the dawn's early light Well, you're lying there sleeping like a soft warm baby And I want to touch your skin But I know darn well if I crawl back in bed You'll be changing my mind again So while your eyes are all closed and your heart don't know I'll be doing what I think is right I'm gonna miss you but I'll be in Mississippi By the dawn's early light (Paul Overstreet, Even Stevens; Screen Gems-EMI Music Inc (BMI))
