I'm leaving your a** dear, behind me Thanks for the long haul Thanks for it all But I'm putting this heartbreak beside me It's played its role It's taken its toll And I'm taking myself on vacation Away from your eyes Give me back what is mine I'm done with this sad song we're singing Bury it deep, beneath the Mississippi Thanks for all the things you never said, dear For avoiding surrender For playing it safe For putting me back in the ocean With all the fish in the sea, I'm sure there's plenty for me Bring me a shovel when you're ready To clean up the mess and close the lesson Dig deep, our bounty where we left it Six inches deep, beneath the Mississippi So I'm leaving your a** dear, behind me Thanks for the long haul Thanks for it all I'm putting this heartbreak beside me It's played its role It's taken its toll And I'm taking myself on vacation Away from your eyes Give me back what is mine I'm done with the sad song I'm singing Buried it deep, beneath the Mississippi
