Lyrics Nashville Cast – Mississippi Flood

I’ve got flowers but there ain’t no grave
You’re still walkin’ ’round but nothing’s changed
I’ve stopped breathin’ but I’m still feelin’ the pain

Everywhere I go, I hear your name

I — I — I — I know I’m free but still
My hands are tied
Behind my back beside the Mississippi flood
This love won’t give up
No, it don’t run dry
Why-y-y
It’s gone, it’s gone, but it ain’t dead and gone
It’s gone, it’s gone, but it ain’t dead and gone

I’m not twisted, bitter, I’m not mad
I just wish you would get off my mouth
I’ve been hidin’ but you keep findin’ my tracks
Why do you keep on comin’ back?

I — I — I — I know I’m free but still
My hands are tied
Behind my back beside the Mississippi flood
This love won’t give up
No, it don’t run dry
Why-y-y
It’s gone, it’s gone, but it ain’t dead and gone
It’s gone, it’s gone, but it ain’t dead and gone

It’s gone, it’s gone, but it ain’t dead and gone
It’s gone, it’s gone, but it ain’t dead and gone
