Mississippi Hallelujah

from Local Support by Tyler Key

/

lyrics

Don’t feel like talking, don’t feel like much of nothing no more
These green eyes seem older than before
I remember the way your hair whipped in the wind
I remember the way I felt when I touched your skin
Used to feel lonesome, I don’t feel nothing at all now
Used to feel angry now I feel I’m gonna drown
Down by the quarry lake on the southside of town
Singing my songs to the birds on the ground.

Can I get a Mississippi hallelujah
can I get a little something for the road
Don’t tell me where my dreams ran off to
they’re made of gold

Used to go wandering down these streets at night
Used to go out drinking and try to pick a fight
Used to get off on treating all my love like shit
Used to be a user but you helped to fix all of it
When we met it felt so easy
When we met it wasn’t kind
You swept me up and then you poured me out
Sweeping me down but i’m not down and out

Feel like a failure, feel like I’m falling apart
Feel if I could change then so could anyone’s heart
Singing my songs to these sad old clowns
Nothing I’ve done is gonna matter now.
