Story Behind The Song

MORNING ATTITUDES

Song Description

MISSISSIPPI MORNING

Lyrics

I ALWAYS TAKE IT AS A SIGN AS NIGHT GIVES WAY TO - MORNINGS SHINE
THE GIFT OF EVERY BRAND NEW DAY AS WE NAVIGATE OUR WAY

IN THE EARLY MORNING COOLNESS SONGBIRDS SING WITH EACH DAY'S NEWNESS
THERES A MORNING MIST AROUND THE LAKE WHERE FISH START BITING AROUND DAYBREAK
THE NEIGHBORS GOATS AGAIN HAVE STRAYED, CHECK HOW MANY EGGS THE HENS HAVE LAID
MAKING BISCUITS FOR THE CHURCH POT LUCK, THE PASTORS WORKING ON HIS OLD TRUCK

MORE PLACE THAN TIME
AND TIME MEANS EVERYTHING
TO SPEND WHAT'S MINE WAKING AND DREAMING
ON A MISSISSIPPI MORNING

GHOSTS FROM A TROUBLED PAST CAN REMIND WHEN SKIES ARE OVERCAST
BUT FROM RAIN THE FIELDS STILL GROW WE'RE UNBURDENED WHEN IT'S LOVE WE KNOW
THERE'S A REUNION NEAR THE COAST WITH ALL THOSE YOU LOVE THE MOST
CALL A FRIEND SEE HOW THEY ARE SINCE A WRECK AND BUYING AN OLD NEW CAR

(LONG BEFORE EVENING'S CALL) FOR LIGHT TO REST FLOWER BLOSSOMS VIE FOR PRETTIEST
GARDENIAS MINGLE WITH THE AIR IN SPRING SIPPING COFFEE ON A FRONT PORCH SWING

MORE PLACE THAN TIME
AND TIME MEANS EVERYTHING
TO SPEND WHAT'S MINE WAKING AND DREAMING
ON A MISSISSIPPI MORNING
