Mississippi Moon

[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
