Pirates Of The Mississippi

I'm standin' at the crossroads in life

And i don't know where to go

You know you've got my heart,babe

But my music's got my soul

Let me play it one more time

Tell the truth and make it right

And hope they understand me



(CHORUS)

Now i lay me down to sleep

And pray the Lord my soul to keep

If i die before i wake,feed Jake

He's been a good dog

My best friend right through it all

If i die before i wake,feed Jake



Now Broadway's like a sewer

Bums and hookers everywhere

Winos passed out on the sidewalk

Doesn't anybody care?

Some say "He's worthless,just let him be!"

I for one would have to disagree

And so would their Mama's



(CHORUS)



Now if you get an ear pierced

Some will call you gay

But if you drive a pick-up

They'll say "No,you must be straight!"

What we are and what we ain't

What we can and what we cain't

Does it really matter?



(CHORUS)



If i die before i wake,feed Jake

If i die before i wake...
