Go To Top

Four Seconds Lyrics

One...two...three...four!

Goes to show not what you know,
But who you know
So's ya know, I can go, flow Bill Monroe
Then throw to Snow
For the show stay low, play it on a Dobro
Oh, I tiptoe to-and-fro
From Ontario, my stereo's Blue like the Rodeo
Growin' like freak show free throw it's just the intro,
Keep droppin' like dominoes

One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, Four!

Now rewind....
What'd you have in mind?
Could we unwind? I'm fine, we can find a streamline
Recombined, intertwined
If I'm gonna headline,
I'm movin' all the behinds
Line to line, I kind of shine
Redesigned, redefined
Keepin' up the spellbind, gotta make it worth the grind
Just in time to have another close encounter
of the third kind

One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, Four!

I've been away four years and a day
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely
But I'm out here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way

Oh flip, the light is turning orange
Coat ripped, when I caught it in the door hinge
I slipped when the lady in the 4 inch
Bought it in a store in Germany,
Wore it like a makeshift snowdrift
Had to get a gift, saw the red shift rift
When Gretta got an eyelift
Oh sure that one's obscure, maybe even piss-poor,
But I had to take a little detour

I've been away four years and a day
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely
But I'm out here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way

One Mississippi...

Two Mississippi...

Three Mississippi...

Four!
