Mississippi Moon

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
