Jackson Waters - Mississippi lyrics

On the banks of the mississippi

Oh, where we used to be ourselves

We just worry bout' the times and worry bout' the lines

and the words we didn't say

on the banks of the Mississippi

Oh, where we used to be ourselves

didn't have to worry bout hypocrisy or worry bout the Sadducees

cuz, we didn't have to be somebody else

on the banks of the Mississippi

Well the stars shine bright like the sweet morning sun

and the air is thick as we all have our fun

on the banks of the Mississippi

Well its two kids in the parking lot

on the banks of the Mississippi

two hearts gone wild with the feelin's of desire

anybody with love can tell

on the banks of the Mississippi

Well the stars shine bright like the sweet morning sun

and the air is thick as we all have our fun

on the banks of the Mississippi

Well the stars go down as the sun reappears

well we all have our dreams and we ohhhh, we all have our fears

on the banks of the Mississippi
