PASSING ME BY

Pascagula, Mississippi
That's where you've been Phoning me
I'm just passing on through Mississippi
I just left my home in New Orleans
Just be quiet baby,
As I listen for the outside sounds
'Cause all I hear is the madness of my thoughts
And the tic toc tic of the time slowing down

And we don't make love
We just do it
I got the nursing home blues from you
And no health care's gonna help me through it

This is my life and it's passing by
Would you like to go for a ride
This is my life and it's passing by
Would you like to go for a ride

Pascagula, Mississippi
Where lately you've been faxing me
Yeah I've been stuck in Mississippi
Don't think I'll ever make it to New Orleans
I've got the nursing home blues
And I'm sure my papa's got 'em too
'Cause there's only so much to take
When you've been waiting a while and your medicine's due

This is my life and it's passing by
Would you like to go for a ride
This is my life and it's passing by
Would you like to go for a ride
