If I lived and could toss in a world full of women and bars
And the sound of the city at night and the sound of my heart
I been wasted in places so lost and low to the ground
It's the odd time of legend of whores and it can't be found
And I forgot and forgive and I can't even call out her name
I've been drivin' in circles round mounds of heartache and pain
I've been waitin' so patient so sure for the time to arrive
Like the sounds of embarrassin' moments encompass my mind
I can't see the light
You never really reflected
I can't see the light
On all the things I neglected
I can't see the light
As if I've always really known
And although I've made such a mess of born mistakes
But although I'm lost, I've nothin' left to say
And if I lived and could toss in a world full of women and bars
And the sound of the city at night and the sound of my heart
Mississippi and Memphis are places so tied to the ground
It's another dark evening, another dark miserable town
I can't see the light
You never really reflected
I can't see the light
On all the things I neglected
I can't see the light
As if I've always really known
