Lyrics
like a friend that you’ve known
whose been there but gone
and you’ve hung on so long
to the fear that’s inside of you
I know it’s hard to find
a song of your own
but you don’t have to walk alone
You don’t have to beat me down, no
You can pull your wagon around
Cause I’ve been there before
Yes, I’ve been there before
within moments you break
out the chaos you create
and I know that you say, “you’re afraid..”
“of the fear that’s inside of you”
I know it’s hard to find
a song of your own
but you don’t have to walk alone
You don’t have to beat me down, no
You can pull your wagon around
Cause I’ve been there before
Yes, I’ve been there before
mississippi station
roll on down to new orleans
and the big wheel is chasing
but you don’t have to run no
you don’t have to run from me
