A                 E 
Snowed this mornin'
      B          C#m
That kind of cold
  B                             
Where your car won't start
A
And your heart won't go

A                  E          A       B             C#m
The headwaters up here will freeze your bones
A       C#m      B                         A
But they say I can float this river home
             B
It's that long

Chorus:
 A        E           B         C#m
The Mississippi river runs so wide
A           E          B       C#m
The biggest tear God ever cried
A            E         B       C#m
Right now it feels like the great divide
   A         E                    B             C#m
And Lord I want to be on the other side
  A          E                    B               E
And Lord I want to be on the other side

A                 E         B          C#m
Where that icy water turns to mud
B                          A
And tastes dirty like it always should
A               E
Where they talk lazy
A             B      C#m
And they walk slow
A       C#m       B         A
And there's gospel in the radio
B
That's where I want to go

Chorus

A                 E         B          C#m
50 miles til I get home
B                          A
But when you're this close miles go twice as long
A               E
When I cross over
A             B      C#m
I'm going to get down
A       C#m       B         A
Gonna close my eyes and kiss the ground
