You cross that line, she's never gonna let you turn
Straighten up and fly right or you're gonna crash and burn
That bluegrass girl, she'll never let you slip
She'll hang on to you like you was her last mint julep
Mississippi burning on a long hot summer night
I feel her yearning but she just can't get it right
Her mood is turning and it ain't a pretty sight
Mississippi burning
She'll take you in like a hound dog on a rainy day
When you're on the delta skelter, she'll ride you down all the way
She looks so good, it takes away your breath
But those pure white bed sheets, they scare me half to death
Mississippi burning on a long hot summer night
I feel her yearning but she just can't get it right
Her mood is turning and it ain't a pretty sight
Mississippi burning
To think you love her makes you wanna rebel yell
That's a big mistake boy, a gentleman he'd never tell
It gets that way, you better watch your mouth
Or everything you've ever loved, you'll watch it all go south
Mississippi burning on a long hot summer night
I feel her yearning but she just can't get it right
Her mood is turning and it ain't a pretty sight
Mississippi burning
She tastes like peach and you got Georgia on your mind
Her southern comfort, Lord, it's like to make you blind
That ain't no way to make too many friends
Frankly she don't give a damn 'cause how she doesn't care
Mississippi burning on a long hot summer night
I feel her yearning but she just can't get it right
Her mood is turning and it ain't a pretty sight
Mississippi burning
Mississippi burning
