Ten Miles Outside of Jackson
Ten miles outside of Jackson
I stopped the car along the Natchez Trace
Cloaked in the Mississippi darkness
I let the tears roll down my face
News travels slowly sometimes
No news from you and I just assumed
You must be doing what I?ve been doing
And before too long time slipped by
But I look homeward, angel tonight
There?s a part of my heart that?s as cold as ice
As cold as solid wood in the cold winter ground
Ten miles outside of Jackson
I stopped the car along the Natchez Trace
Cloaked in the Mississippi darkness
I let the tears roll down my face
I will never touch you; I can never hold you
I will never see you again
And all I feel is empty; and I struggle to say goodbye
And there is no price, no sacrifice I can make
To ransom you back, to ransom you back
But I look homeward, angel tonight
There?s a part of my heart that?s as cold as ice
As cold as solid wood in the cold winter ground
Ten miles outside of Jackson
I stopped the car along the Natchez Trace
Cloaked in the Mississippi darkness
I let the tears roll down my face
Ten miles outside of Jackson
Ten miles outside of Jackson
Ten miles outside of Jackson
