John Anderson - Mississippi Moon lyrics

Artist: John Anderson

album: Country Legends


It's a late night show
On the radio
Going down the road with the Wolfman
Lightning bugs all around
Moonlight shining down
On little sleepy towns down in the flatland
I can still hear mama calling
"Son, it's time to come on in"
When the darkness started falling
Everybody gathered 'round the table, amen
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
Wish I'd never left you
Spent enough time in that old rat race
Going on back to the delta
♪
Barbecues
Back porch snooze
And the guitar blues just about sundown
Mockingbird melodies
Watermelon memories
Cruisin' the streets downtown
Hot summer night down on the levy
She spread the blanket on the ground
There ain't no feeling like the first time
When the innocence is lost and love is found
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
Can almost reach and touch you
Been a long time and I missed your face
Going on back to the delta
I'm tired of searching for the answers
Always out there on the run
I'm going back to where my heart is
Down Highway 61
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
Almost reach and touch you
Been a long time since I seen your face
Going on back to the delta
♪
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
Wish I'd never left you
Been too long in that old rat race
Going on down to the delta
♪
Mmm, Mississippi
