I'm leaving your ass dear, behind me
Thanks for the long haul
Thanks for it all

But I'm putting this heartbreak beside me
It's played its role
It's taken its toll

And I'm taking myself on vacation
Away from your eyes
Give me back what is mine

I'm done with this sad song we're singing
Bury it deep, beneath the Mississippi

Thanks for all the things you never said, dear
For avoiding surrender
For playing it safe
For putting me back in the ocean
With all the fish in the sea, I'm sure there's plenty for me

Bring me a shovel when you're ready
To clean up the mess and close the lesson
Dig deep, our bounty where we left it
Six inches deep, beneath the Mississippi
So I'm leaving your ass dear, behind me
Thanks for the long haul
Thanks for it all

I'm putting this heartbreak beside me
It's played its role
It's taken its toll

And I'm taking myself on vacation
Away from your eyes
Give me back what is mine

I'm done with the sad song I'm singing
Buried it deep, beneath the Mississippi
