Was a time I could make an honest payday
That was in my heyday before it went south hey hey
Desperate times always make for desperate measures
Got a wife and a kid
No food on the plate
I'm a desperado on the run
Ain't a thing I wouldn't do for a loaded gun
I'll disappoint my daddy just to save my son
Mississippi here I come
Here I come
Headed down just a mile across the border
bank job in Coldwater
before they're awake hey hey
I'll be gone when the sun comes up tomorrow
I'm takin' that town
for all I can take
I'm a desperado on the run
Ain't a thing I wouldn't do for a loaded gun
I'll disappoint my daddy just to save my son
Mississippi here I come
Here I come
I'll fly away oh glory
I'll, I'll fly away
I'm a desperado on the run
Ain't a thing I wouldn't do for a loaded gun
I'll disappoint my daddy just to save my son
Mississippi, Mississippi
I'm a desperado on the run
Ain't a thing I wouldn't do for a loaded gun
I'll disappoint my daddy just to save my son
Mississippi here I come
Here I come
