Mississippi Moon

Carson Whitsett, Tony Joe White

It's a late night show on the radio
Goin' down the road with the Wolfman
Lightnin' bugs all around, moonlight shinin' down
On a little sleepy town down in the flatland

I can still hear Mama callin'
"Son, it's time to come on in"
And when that darkness started fallin'
Everybody gather 'round the table, amen

Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
Wish I'd never left ya
Spent enough time in this old rat race
I'm goin' on back to the delta

Yeah, barbecues and back porch news
And the guitar blues, yeah, about around sundown
Mockingbird melodies, watermelon memories
Yeah, cruisin' those streets downtown

Hot summer nights on the levy
She spread a blanket on the ground
There ain't no feelin' like a first time
When innocence is lost and love is found

Here we go
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
Wish I'd never left ya
Spent enough time in that old rat race
I'm goin' on back to the delta

I'm tired of searchin' for answers
Always out there on the run
I'm goin' back to where my heart is
Highway 61, yeah

Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
Almost reach and touch you
Been so long and I missed your face
I'm goin' on back to the delta
Yeah, Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
Wish I'd never left you
Spent enough time in that old rat race
I'm goin' on back to the delta

Yeah, Mississippi moon, oh
Yeah, yeah, Mississippi moon, yeah
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
I'm goin' on back, goin' on through the delta
Oh, Mississippi moon, yeah
Goin' on back to the delta, yeah
Ooh
