[Verse 1]
Up all night just to daydream
Find her every time at the bar
Got a big plan, gonna live free
Sleep out every night under the stars

She's so pretty, see her eyes gleam
Lovely girl with a good good heart
Can’t catch a break, needs a new scene
Waitin' on a brand new start

[Chorus]
Me and my friend, the Mississippi Queen
She's just living for the weekend
Don’t you wish you were still green
Like when you could get high off a little hit
Me and my friend
Me and my friend

[Verse 2]
Spend a lot of time in a nightmare
You can get to where you don't feel afraid
I know what you say and I've been there
Everybody thinks you're so great

So easy for them to sit there
Point a crooked finger your way
Nobody really sees you and it ain't fair
You don't even need to explain
[Chorus]
Me and my friend, the Mississippi Queen
She's just living for the weekend
Don't you wish you were still green
Back when you could get high off a little hit

Now you’ve gotta have it, got a hold of you
You’re burned out, baby, and you just can't quit it
Man, I wish could show you
How you’re livin' for the weekend and you're really kinda missin' it
Me and my friend
Me and my friend
Me and my friend
Me and my friend

[Outro]
Me and my friend, the Mississippi Queen
She’s just living for the weekend
Don't you wish you were still green
Like when you could get high off a little hit
