Mississippi highway
Won’t you carry me back home?
Mississippi highway
Won’t you carry me back home?
On down to Louisiana
Back to them good folks that I know
Tried my hand at the city
Spending hours for the man
Tried my hand at the city, lord
Spending hours for the man
Til he put it on that backpay
Sent my job off to Japan
Up there in the city
They don’t have no fun
Run around in circles, lord
But don’t get nothing done
Me I love my moonshine
And I love to get high
I sit up on my front porch, yeah
Watch the day go back
Mississippi highway
Won’t you carry me back home?
On down to Louisiana
Back to them good folks that I know
Come on now, Mississippi highway
Won’t you carry me back home?
I said now Mississippi highway
Won’t you carry me back home?
On down to Louisiana
Back to them good folks that I know
