One Mississippi

It's 3 a.m., and I ain't slept

So I'm tryna find a cure on the internet

There's a warmth I can't find sleepin' alone

That you can't replace with melatonin

So here I am on an online forum lookin' for some help

They say closin' your eyes, countin' to ten

Works as good as anything else

So one-one thousand, two-one thousand

I close my eyes, but I can't rest

Three short prayers, four beers later

I should say another to repent

Five sheep jumpin', six cylinders pumpin'

Takes me back to a slammin' door

Layin' in this bed, I can't take one Mississippi more

Well, I've listened to songs about sleepin' alone

Picked up and put down my telephone

When I start to shut my eyes

Your memory works its way in my mind

Hot flash, I'm on my feet

I get sad and then angry, rinse and repeat

I guess I'll just DoorDash Taco Bell

To this one-and-a-half-bath prison cell

Singin' one-one thousand, two-one thousand

I close my eyes, but I can't rest

Three short prayers, four beers later

I should say another to repent

Five sheep jumpin', six cylinders pumpin'

Takes me back to a slammin' door

Layin' in this bed, I can't take one Mississippi more

And I wonder if you're layin' in bed, sleepin' well

Or have you lost all feelin', starin' at the ceilin'

Thinkin' to yourself

One-one thousand, two-one thousand

I close my eyes, but I can't rest

Three short prayers, four beers later

I should say another to repent

Five sheep jumpin', six cylinders pumpin'

Takes me back to a slammin' door

Layin' in this bed, I can't take one Mississippi more
