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