Mississippi You're On My Mind

I think I see a wagon rutted road

With the weeds growin' tall between the tracks

And along one side runs a rusty barbed wire fence

And beyond that sits an old tar paper shack

Mississippi you're on my mind

Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

I think I hear a noisy old John Deere

In a field specked with dirty cotton lint

And below the field runs a little shady creek

And there you'll find the cool green leaves of mint

Mississippi you're on my mind

Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

I think I smell the honeysuckle vine

The heavy sweetness like to make me sick

And the dogs, my God, they're hungry all the time

And the snakes are sleepin' where the weeds are thick

Mississippi you're on my mind

Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

I think I feel an angry oven heat

The southern sun just blazes in the sky

And in the dusty weeds an old fat grasshopper jumps

I wanna make it to that creek before I fry

Mississippi you're on my mind

Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

Mississippi you're on my mind

Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, oh, Mississippi you're on my mind
