Mississippi Delta (i'm Your Man) Lyrics

Once upon a time I was dancer
Resurrecting mislaid men
A payphone necromancer
With glowing perfect skin
Followed love around a corner
To a 16 millimetre dream
Mother screamed, I tried to warn
Just close your eyes for this next scene

New York may destroy me
L.A. 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
Sweating underneath the band I'll be sailing down the river
While the boys are loading up the van
Mama's little helper
Mississippi Delta, I'm your man

I 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 lyrics
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
That life ain't a detour?
Every river bends
The Amazon, and Thames and Tibor
