Mississippi Or Me

(アルバム： Ain't My Last Rodeo - 2023)

I ain't gonna lie, when those headlights pulled into my drive tonight
Was a sight for sore eyes, last thing I thought I'd see
And is something wrong, what brought you home, was it tough out on your own
Or did you drive all the way down here just to see me

Or was it the cotton fields stretching nearly countywide
Them cool delta mornings or the Jackson nights
Did your interstate dreams turn into a dead-end street
Was it a midnight blanket on a river bank
Two names on a Tupelo water tank
Was it something bout a boy back home that your heart still needs
Were you missing Mississippi or me

When you hit town, was my house the first stop you thought about
Or you already been by to see your mama and them
And I want you to know, in case you don't, I sure hated to see you go
Just tell me what it was that brought you back home again

Was it the cotton fields stretching nearly countywide
Them cool delta mornings or the Jackson nights
Did your interstate dreams turn into a dead-end street
Was it a midnight blanket on a river bank
Or two names on a Tupelo water tank
Was it something bout a boy back home that your heart still needs
Were you missing Mississippi or me
Yeah were you missing Mississippi or me

Are you back for good or just passing thorugh
Do you need me like I need you

Or was it the cotton fields stretching nearly countywide
Them cool delta mornings or the Jackson nights
Did your interstate dreams turn into a dead-end street
Was it a midnight blanket on a river bank
Two names on a Tupelo water tank
Was it something bout a boy back home that your heart still needs
So before I take you back like that, baby, tell me one thing
Were you missing Mississippi or me
Oh were you missing Mississippi or me
