Mississippi Homegrown Songtext
von Pirates of the Mississippi

Young love at Ole Miss in bloom by the light of that Oxford moon
Skyscrapers and blue suede shoes Jimmie Rodgers and Elvis too
Mississippi homegrown

Home of the land where the cotton grows the fields look like southers snow
Spanish moss and velvet lawns congregation singing gospel songs
Mississippi homegrown


Things move a little slower down here warm summer nights and cold Jax beer
Joints get to jumpin′ to the Delta blues like a cat on a hot tin roof
Mississippi homegrown
[ Steel - guitar ]
Big muddy winds it's way down there smell of honeysuckle in the air
From south of Memphis to the sweet Gulf Coast
If you ain′t been there you need to go
Mississippi homegrown

A little girl put a spell on me underneath a Mimosa tree
Can't get her out of my head she's Mississippi born and bred
Mississippi homegrown

Things move a little slower down here...
Mississippi homegrown Mississippi homegrown
Mississippi homegrown Mississippi homegrown
