OH mercy I love that song<g> Has anyone, other than myself, ever heard Willie's version?

Dylan reaches down and rips it from your soul

lines from "Mississippi"..I've taken the liberty of omitting 1/2 the song....please don't strike me dead.

I don't think I've said it this week...Dylan has no peer. Second place is so far down that it's on a different page.

how can a guy continue to write such masterpieces without it taking a toll
----------------------
Every step of the way we walk the line
Your days are numbered, so are mine
Time is pilin' up, we struggle and we scrape
We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape

Got nothing for you, I had nothing before
Don't even have anything for myself anymore
Sky full of fire, pain pourin' down
Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around

Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
Feeling like a stranger nobody sees
So many things that we never will undo
I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too

Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
I'm drownin' in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothin' but affection for all those who've sailed with me

Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay
You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
