I know it may sound strange
but I still miss Mississippi
all the people and the places
that I loved that never change
a lot of things were wrong
but it did not take too long
I was indoctrinated right
I never sank into the night
so thanks to Mom and Dad
and all the friends I had
when I look back to the past
I know nothing good can last
days when I went fishing
skipping school and skinny dipping
my long gone vanished days
almost lost there in the haze
I wish to go back on the wind
to see every childhood friend
but the road leads ever onward
round that Mississippi bend
I know I can't go home again
but Mississippi is in my veins
and if the Lord of Lords ordains
Mississippi will ease my pains
