lyrics

I ain't ever been
Down the mighty Mississip
No I ain't ever been
Down that lonesome river

No I ain't ever been
A spirit in a closet
No I ain't ever been
Haunted

I ain't ever been
A light on in an attic
No I ain't ever been
A worn out bulb

I ain't ever been
A stone skipped down a river
No i ain't ever been
To the mighty Mississip

I ain't ever been
A meadowlark in the morning
I ain't ever been
A sweet sweet song

I ain't ever been
A fence post in the summer
I aint ever felt
So damn strong

I ain't ever been
The crackling of a wood stove
I ain't ever been
Inside a flame

I ain't ever been
The bent spine of a bible
I aint ever been
A book at all

I ain't ever been
A fortune drawn at random
But I sure have been
A lucky man
