"My Meridian" lyrics

Well, it's safe to say I should've met you sooner
I guess I reckon it was in due time
Skip the 25 years that it took me to find ya
Lady of the Lauderdale County line

My meridian, my sweet meridian
You done a number on this heart of mine
My, my meridian, my sweet meridian
I'm gonna love you 'til the day I die

All of the time
You're on my mind
High in the pines
I ain't too certain it'll come back down
If it's all the same
Well, the sure thing to say
About the something in the water in a speed-trap town

My meridian, my sweet meridian
You done a number on this heart of mine
My, my meridian, my sweet meridian
I'm gonna love you 'til the day I die

I don't wanna know where I would be without you
And I doubt it'd even amount to nothing at all
Yeah, you take one Mississippi, two Mississippi
For it to simply be a couple seconds too long
Without the loving of

My, my meridian, my sweet meridian
You done a number on this heart of mine
My meridian, my sweet meridian
I'm gonna love you till the day I die

My, my meridian, my sweet meridian
You done a number on this heart of mine
My, my meridian, my sweet meridian
I'm gonna love you 'til the day I die
