Gary Jeffries - Mississippi Girl Lyrics
Just to carve out my own wayLeft the bare foot girlToo proud to askBefore she was to stayThis world has a way of callingTo a boy from the sapwood swampDidn’t take much time to realizeNot much out there to wantIf’n that delta girlWould take me back into her armsIs like asking lightening not strikeIn a delta stormMississippi girl never off my mindShe’s a find, she’s a sucker, she’s a one of a kindBayou boy’s heading home to be aloneGirl taught me a lesson that I needed to learnThe way I miss her is a deep slow burnGotta get back to the worldBack to my Mississippi girlShe was born with grit in between her toesHas a fire cracker spiritAnd a mind that will wrap around youWith one swift kissLips as full as a Cajun moonEyes are dark as a beetle JuneGot a hold of my heart like a feverAin’t letting go anytime soonThat delta will either break me inor wear me outShe’s worth the wear and tear, yeahThat’s what I found<Mississippi girl never off my mindShe’s a find, she’s a sucker, she’s a one of a kindBayou boy’s heading home to be aloneGirl taught me a lesson that I needed to learnThe way I miss her is a deep slow burnGotta get back to the worldBack to my Mississippi girlWell I swear she used black magicThat a feller just can’t takeMade me hurt insideLike a part of my heart acheMississippi girl never off my mindShe’s a find, she’s a sucker, she’s a one of a kindBayou boy’s heading home to be aloneGirl taught me a lesson that I needed to learnThe way I miss her is a deep slow burnGotta get back to the worldBack to my Mississippi girl
