Lyrics

Sitting in a gambling house trying to find a way out just about to lose my mind
I've been wondering where you were sleeping
Sleep is nothing I get these days, my mind is a wandering stranger but
I'll be sure to grab some when I'm leaving
then the door swang open I grabbed my gun we hit the highway hard
and we did not smile until we hit Dixie

Take me home, make me wiser
take me higher only if you can

Knocking around a strange house, trying to find a way down, just about to free my mind
In you come looking all torn
Crying about a bad break,and will it be too late
I said smile a little more you know the cotton around this place won't
keep you warm but the truth comes slow, we know that so we hit the highway hard
and smiles don't come cheap in Mississippi

Take me home, make me wiser
Take me higher, only if you can

Sitting in your house trying to find a way out just about to lose my mind
I've been wondering why you're weeping
Tears are nothing I get these days my eyes are wandering strangers and
you know I'll thank you when I'm leaving
then the door swung open I grabbed my gun we hit the highway hard
we didn't smile 'til we hit Dixie

Take me home, make me wiser
Take me higher, only if you can

Tired of living, try dying all by yourself
You ain't no different, everybdy wants to be somebody else
I don't mean to lay down all this preaching blues,
But you always bring this out in me.
Oh yes you always bring this out in me.
Remember what I told you a long time ago,
Before you headed out west and got caught up
in all your mean, mean snow.
I don't mean to lay down all this preaching blues,
But you always bring this out in me.
