Mississippi Moon

It's a late night show
 On the radio
 Going down the road with the Wolfman
 Lightning bugs all around
 Moonlight shining down
 On little sleepy towns down in the flatland
 I can still hear mama calling
 "Son, it's time to come on in"
 When the darkness started falling
 Everybody gathered 'round the table, amen
 Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
 Wish I'd never left you
 Spent enough time in that old rat race
 Going on back to the delta
 ♪
 Barbecues
 Back porch snooze
 And the guitar blues just about sundown
 Mockingbird melodies
 Watermelon memories
 Cruisin' the streets downtown
 Hot summer night down on the levy
 She spread the blanket on the ground
 There ain't no feeling like the first time
 When the innocence is lost and love is found
 Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
 Can almost reach and touch you
 Been a long time and I missed your face
 Going on back to the delta
 I'm tired of searching for the answers
 Always out there on the run
 I'm going back to where my heart is
 Down Highway 61
 Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
 Almost reach and touch you
 Been a long time since I seen your face
 Going on back to the delta

 Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
 Wish I'd never left you
 Been too long in that old rat race
 Going on down to the delta

 Mmm, Mississippi
