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
