Mississippi Turnpike Songtext
von Shelly Fairchild

Felt like a stranger, ...x... ghost
Passed by an old house, used to be my home
I′m afraid she might not miss me, yeah when I'm gone

Mississippi turnpike a thousand miles on that road
To late to turn around, this is how far I′ll go
Getting tired of pretending, take me where I want to be

Back to the delta
Back to the open green
Back to the old house, used to be my scene
There's a Buick in the driveway, 1963


Mississippi turnpike a thousand miles on that road
To late to turn around, this is how far I'll go
Getting tired of pretending, take me where I want to be
Oh, where it feels like me yeah, like me
Where it feels like me, like me

Memories are mockingbirds, I heard a screen door slam
I do complaining, trying to understand
Didn′t know who I was kidding then, ′till I just ran

Mississippi turnpike a thousand miles on my own
To late to turn around, this is how far I'll go
Getting tired of pretending, take me where I want to be
Getting tired of pretending, take me where I want to be
Where it feels like me
Where it feels like me, like me
