lyrics

Our times together - my joy where could it go
Like smoking heaps and heaps of cigarettes, expecting one to grow
Now there's nothing in my hands - empty vessels understand
Need some water and a new search for land

I tore it up, I tore it up to share not to destroy
Misunderstood my actions, only actions not a ploy

Chorus:
Just a sad old girl, sittin' in the dust
Sittin' in the dust, meetin' the dust
Just a sad old girl lvin' in the dust
And the dust turned into mud

I hopped a lifeboat leaving a sinking ship and joined the riverboat revival
On the Missisipi
Now I'm not gonna gamble with a life that's not my own
Once I win I'm gonna send for you - please come along

Spinnin' in the mud made a deep, deep rut
And the rut turned to a groove like Chico said

Chorus:

Oh the River Queen is where my peaceful heart belongs
These walkin' feet now float I sing a bayou song
If you can't sleep at night there's a paddle wheel lullaby
It's a Mississippi good night, sleep tight

I ply along, and they wind don't care
It lends a breeze and tousles my hair
Kisses my face and it cools the air

So happy I'm no longer...

Chorus:
