John Anderson - Mississippi Moon Lyrics
It's a late night show on the radioGoing down the road with the WolfmanLightning bugs all around moonlight shining downon little sleepy towns down in the flatlandsI can still hear momma calling son it's time to come on inWhen the darkness started falling...Everybody gathered round the table, amenMississippi Moon hangin in the haze wish I'd never left youSpent enough time in that old rat raceGoin on back in the deltaBarbecues, back porch stews, and the guitar blues just about sundownMockingbird melodies, watermelon memories...Cruisin the streets downtownHot summer night down on the levyShe spread the blanket on the groundThere ain't no feeling like the first timeWhen the innocence is lost and love is foundMississippi Moon hangin in the haze almost reach and touch youBeen a long time and I missed your faceGoin on back to the deltaI'm tired of searching for the answersAlways out there on the runI'm goin back to where my heart is...Down on Highway 61Mississippi Moon hangin in the haze almost reach and touch youBeen a long time and I missed your faceGoin on back to the deltaMississippi Moon hangin in the haze wish I'd never left youHad enough time in that old rat raceGoin on back to the delta
