Song Description

Old man recalling his tragic lost , his only true love, now just a drunk in the bar

Lyrics

HERE IN MISSISSIPPI

He was sit'n in a dim lit corner
of a smokey little run down bar
Tear'n off the corners of his napkin
blow'n camel smoke rings in the dark

You could tell that time was an old friend
by the lines there on his face
and if his tears could talk
what a tale they'd tell
'bout a man who fell from grace

Here in Mississippi

Well they say when he was a younger man
he had the life most men dream about
He had a hot rod Ford, all the girls adored
Every night he took another one out

Until he fell in love with the Homecoming Queen
they got married and settled down
but he took that curve just a little too fast
and laid his angel in the ground

Here in Mississippi

CHORUS

Here in Mississippi, where the might river runs free
Here in Mississippi, it flows on and on like her memory
and with every single tear that falls
he knows he lived and loved and lost it all

Here in Mississippi

CHORUS

Here in Mississippi
