Mississippi Delta (I'm Your Man)

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 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
 Now I drive my Sedan up through Louisiana
 I got questions you 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
 Is she never gonna set you down?
 Does she carry you far away-y-y-y-y
 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
