Well you can dig me up a grave And try and stick me in the ground Well you can tie me to the bed And try and beat me half to death But you can never keep me down Well you can stick me in a hole And you can pray all day for rain You can shoot me in the leg Just to try to make me beg And you can leave me there for days And I'll stay alive Just to follow you home And I will survive 'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess You're my California Queen Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity Leave me here to die alone but I'll still follow you home I'll still follow you home You can make a couple calls And tell your brothers I'm in town Put a bounty on my head And tell my parents that I'm dead And hope to hell I'm never found You can steal me the keys To your daddy's Cadillac You can tamper with the brakes Call it a mistake And pray I'm never coming back And I'll stay alive Just to follow you home And I will survive 'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess You're my California Queen Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity Leave me here to die alone but I'll still follow you home I'll still follow you home You can dig me up a grave And try and stick me in the ground You can tie to the bed And try and beat me half to death But you can never keep me down And I will survive 'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess You're my California Queen Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity Leave me here to die alone but I'll still follow you home I'll still follow you home
