ROBERT JOHNSON HAS LEFT MISSISSIPPI
© Krista Detor, Cover Their Eyes

Follow the line of the railroad track
The sky is raining fire, baby, don't look back
No, don't look back whatever they say
'Cause hell's breakin' loose on Independence day
All hell is breakin' loose on Independence day

It's Babylon, baby, and the worst is true
The night is a river and it's drowning you
It's drowning you, right where you lay
And water's risin' up on Independence Day
Yeah, water's risin' up on Independence Day

Down the road, God only knows
Must be a light in a window
There is a door, I heard someone say
There's nothing more here for you,
Be on your way, be on your way

Sweet honeysuckle, where's your honeybee
Went off and died and made a fool of me
Made a fool of me and he went away
And the honey's all gone on Independence Day
Yeah, honey's all gone on Independence Day

Fight fire with fire like they tell you to
You'll find there's nothing left to burn for you
No thing to burn, no thing to say
Just smoke and dirt on Independence Day
Smoke and dirt on Independence Day

You came like a saint in a Stetson hat
With God in your stride, who'd imagine that
Your time would come, now be on your way
God is movin' on this Independence Day
Yeah, God is movin' on this Independence Day

Well, down the road, God only knows
Must be a light in a window
There is a door, I heard someone say
There's nothing more here for you, be on your way

Follow the line of the railroad track
The night is raining fire, baby, don't look back
