Charlie Worsham - Mississippi In July Lyrics
These delta roads, everyone I knowBy the cotton fields and railroad tracks.It's more than just the heat, most folksWho would get the chance to leave but don't come back.Last time I thought about you in a wedding dressI would've been holding your hand.But at seventeen you promise thingsThat you don't really understand.Mississippi in July, magnolia moonlightThe warm wind was just right for staying up all nightAnd letting love fly; Mississippi in July.My heart might as well be one of those canesTied to the back of your limousine.It was hanging by a thread, so I went aheadAnd cut the string.If I asked you way back when, if you'd take my handWould you say "I do"?I'm supposed to hope you're happy,But letting go don't feel the way it's supposed to.Mississippi in July, magnolia moonlightThe warm wind was just right for staying up all nightAnd letting love fly; Mississippi in July.Magnolia moonlightThe warm wind was just right for staying up all nightBut some memories never die, honeysuckle kissesIf I could live on wishes, I'd stay here all the timeOh, Mississippi in July.Mississippi in July.These delta roads, everyone I knowBy the cotton fields and railroad tracks.
