Story Behind The Song

SONG ABOUT MISSISSIPPI

Lyrics

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A HYMN AND I'M GOING NOW TO PRAY
FOR THE ALL BLESSINGS THAT GET SENT MY WAY
IT'S LIKE A TRAIN RIDE TWO DIRECTIONS ON THE TRACK
WHETHER LOOKING FORWARD BUT SOMETIMES GOING BACK

EVERYWHERE I LOOK
RUSTIC BEAUTY
A MISSISSIPPI MYSTERY
ACRES OF SHADE AS WE SEARCH IN YOUR DEEP WOODS FOR PROOF
LEFT FROM LONG AGO
WHISKEY BOTTLE, OLD WOOD PIPE, A RUSTED METAL ROOF
THE MORE THAT IS KNOWN OF EACH PLACE THAT I ROAM I SEE
SOMETIMES DIFFERENTLY

SMILES FROM PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE CAUSE TO CRY
AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE ON WHOSE KINDNESS THEY RELY
WHEN GIVING OPPORTUNITY FEELS SO FAR TO GO
WHERE THEY ARE WHO FIND SUCCESS NO ONE REALLY KNOWS

RICH COMPLEXITY
SO INSPIRING
MISSISSIPPI ARTISTRY
LONG HAVE THE PEOPLE WITH ROOTS TO YOUR PLACES REFLECT
ON THE HISTORY
ENTERTAINERS, ATHELETES, -WRITERS EXTRODINAIRE
SO MANY ARE KNOWN FROM - PLACES RARELY KNOWN I LEARN OF
ACCIDENTALLY
