Mississippi Or Me Lyrics by Green Riley
Green Riley Lyrics
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 stretchin' 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 somethin' bout a boy back home that your heart still needs
Were you missin' 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 stretchin' 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 somethin' bout a boy back home that your heart still needs
Were you missin' Mississippi or me
Yeah were you missin' Mississippi or me
Are you back for good or just passin' thorugh
Do you need me like I need you
Or was it the cotton fields stretchin' 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 somethin' 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 missin' Mississippi or me
Oh were you missin' Mississippi or me
