Mississippi Moon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's a late night show on the radio Goin' down the road with the Wolfman Lightnin' bugs all around, moonlight shinin' down On a little sleepy town down in the flatland [Verse 2] I can still hear Mama callin' "Son, it's time to come on in" And when that darkness started fallin' Everybody gathered round the table, amen [Chorus] Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze Wish I'd never left ya Spent enough time in this old rat race I'm goin' on back to the delta [Verse 3] Yeah, barbecues and back porch news And the guitar blues, yeah, about around sundown Mockingbird melodies, watermelon memories Yеah, cruisin' those streets downtown [Verse 4] Hot summer nights on the lеvy She spread a blanket on the ground There ain't no feelin' like a first time When innocence is lost and love is found [Chorus] Here we go Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze Wish I'd never left ya Spent enough time in that old rat race I'm goin' on back to the delta [Bridge] I'm tired of searchin' for answers Always out there on the run I'm goin' back to where my heart is Highway 61, yeah [Chorus] Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze Almost reach and touch you Been so long and I missed your face I'm goin' on back to the delta Yeah, Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze Wish I'd never left you Spent enough time in that old rat race I'm goin' on back to the delta [Outro] Yeah, Mississippi moon, oh Yeah, yeah, Mississippi moon, yeah Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze I'm goin' on back, goin' on through the delta Oh, Mississippi moon, yeah Goin' on back to the delta, yeah Ooh
