Once upon a time, I was dancer
Resurrecting mislead man
A payphone necromancer
With glowin' perfect skin
I followed love around a corner
To a sixteen millimeter dream
Mother screamed, I tried to warn
Just close your eyes to this next scene
New York may destroy me
LA Might ignore me
But the Londoners are swell and seem like they adore me
Now I drive my sedan up
Through Louisiana
I got questions, you've got the answers
Mississippi Delta, I'm your man
God bless the girls up front
Sweatin' underneath the band
I'll be sailing down the river
While the boys are loadin' up the van
Mama's little helper
Mississippi Delta, I'm your man
Found this faded message
In the sand beneath the pier
It was underneath the wreckage
Of a song we thought had disappeared
I memorized the lyric
I tried to learn the chords
But when I woke, my voice was broken
I found that I could sing no more
Can we ever be sure?
Life ain't a detour
Every river bends
The Amazon, and Thames and Tibor
Now I drive my sedan up
Through Louisiana
I got questions, you've got the answers
Mississippi Delta, I'm your man
God bless the girls up front
Sweatin' underneath the band
I'll be sailing down the river
While the boys are loadin' up the van
Mama's little helper
Mississippi Delta, I'm your man
Yeah, she's never gonna set you down
No
'Cause she'll carry you far away
Mississippi Delta, I'm your man
God bless the girls up front
Sweatin' underneath the band
I'll be sailing down the river
While the boys are loadin' up the van
Mama's little helper
Mississippi Delta, I'm your man
