Possumhaw

Possumhaw up against a pale grey sky
Tennessee winter, man the sun don’t shine
Thinking bout my family. Thinking bout my friends
I’m thinking bout the way things might have been
Just thinking bout the way things might have been
Mississippi River on the Tennessee side
Tennessee winter man the sun don’t shine
See the channel changing. Listen to the wind
I’m thinking bout the way things might have been
Just thinking bout the way things might have been
And the river rose. The river grows
The water takes away
And oh my soul, how the pain it grows
But the water takes away
Listen to the tin roof singing in the pale moonlight
Wonder why he’s always so sad at night
Hear/see the rain falling on the earth’s skin
I’m thinking bout the way things might have been
Just thinking bout the way things might have been
And the river rose. The river grows
The water takes away
And oh my soul, how the pain it grows
But the water takes away
Possumhaw up against a pale grey sky
Tennessee winter, man the sun don’t shine
