lyrics

hope this letter finds you well down in missouri
cause sure as rain falls from the sky i'm stuck in misery
and although those words sound the same they're really not
one's a place i wish i was in
and the other i ain't forgot

tell sam clemens i done my best to free my mind
but there's no more adventures left in them w. virginia mines
jefferson took them all when he was spending all his time
writing documents of freedom and drinking montecello wine

and so it goes 'till the end of time
waiting for true love like princess di
only to be filled with rage regretting choices that we made
praying hard upon where we lay all until our end of days
