Mississippi You're On My Mind Lyrics - Defying Gravity - Jesse Winchester

I think I see a wagon rutted road 

With the weeds growing tall between the tracks 

And along one side runs a rusty barbed wire fence 

And beyond that sits an old tar paper shack. 

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Oh, Mississippi, you're on my mind. 

I think I hear a noisy old John Deere 

In a field specked with dirty cotton lint 

And below the field runs a little shady creek 

And there you'll find the cool green leaves of mint.

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Oh, Mississippi, you're on my mind. 

I think I smell the honeysuckle vine 

The heavy sweetness like to make me sick 

And the dogs, my God, they're hungry all the time 

And the snakes are sleeping where the weeds are thick. 

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Oh, Mississippi, you're on my mind. 

I think I feel an angry oven heat 

The southern sun just blazes in the sky 

In the dusty weeds a fat grasshopper jumps 

I want to make it to that creek before I fry. 

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Oh, Mississippi, you're on my mind. 

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Mississippi, you're on my mind 

Oh, Mississippi, you're on my mind.
