Yeah, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He said, when he was born he was running
As his feet hit the ground before he could talk, he was humming
An old railroad sound
Things didn't get much better when by the age of five
They found him walking into Clarksdale
Trying to keep his friends alive, yeah, yeah
Yeah, no time for celebration
Now there's no known cure seeing he was born and raised
On the wrong killing floor, but my loved ones gathered round
To see if the experiment had worked
He was misplaced out of time
Never rich, never worse
He says momma, please don't cry for me
I got ears to the river-tears to be free
And he sees twelve white horses walking in line
Moving east across that river bridge on highway forty-nine
Standing in the shadows of a burnt out motel
The King of Commerce Mississippi waited with his hound from hell
There's a shiny neon riverboat taking income from the poor
It's floating by the levee in an artificial pool
There's a six-mile tailback back out on junction 304
A stranger at the crossroads, he thought he'd seen his face before
He says, oh, don't cry for me
He's got tears fill the river, tears to be free
Yeah
Talking into the-
The sun's gone down, and I've really got to go now
'Cause I'm sad to be leaving
I've really got to go now
Got to go now
Sun's gone down
I said the sun's gone down
I've got to go now
Got to go now
Well, I'm sad to be leaving, yeah, yeah
Sad, sad, sad
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sad to be leaving
Sad to be leaving
Sad, sad, sad
I'll go now, I'll go now
I'll go now
So sad to be leaving, so sad to be leaving
So sad to be leaving, so sad to be leaving
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He said, when he was born he was running
As his feet hit the ground before he could talk, he was humming
An old railroad sound
Things didn't get much better when by the age of five
They found him walking into Clarksdale
Trying to keep his friends alive, yeah, yeah
Yeah, no time for celebration
Now there's no known cure seeing he was born and raised
On the wrong killing floor, but my loved ones gathered round
To see if the experiment had worked
He was misplaced out of time
Never rich, never worse
He says momma, please don't cry for me
I got ears to the river-tears to be free
And he sees twelve white horses walking in line
Moving east across that river bridge on highway forty-nine
Standing in the shadows of a burnt out motel
The King of Commerce Mississippi waited with his hound from hell
There's a shiny neon riverboat taking income from the poor
It's floating by the levee in an artificial pool
There's a six-mile tailback back out on junction 304
A stranger at the crossroads, he thought he'd seen his face before

I've really got to go now
Got to go now
Sun's gone down
I said the sun's gone down
I've got to go now
Got to go now
Well, I'm sad to be leaving, yeah, yeah
Sad, sad, sad
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sad to be leaving
Sad to be leaving
Sad, sad, sad
I'll go now, I'll go now
I'll go now
So sad to be leaving, so sad to be leaving
So sad to be leaving, so sad to be leaving
