Missin' from Mississippi

Well it ain't the humpbacks Or that crooked letter S And it ain't the longnecks A bottle of Cathead's best That river's still flowing On down to New Orleans Well it ain't the greenheads On a delta sunrise Ain't the truckbeds Backed up on Friday nights But something ain't right Something's missin' from Mississippi It ain't all what it used to be She moved on and I moved away She's in every song I play A heartbreak queen that's what I'd been told Eyes so green made this ole boy fold Wonder if she'll ever think of me Something's missin' from Mississippi Well it ain't the crossroads Or them Clarksdale blues Sure as hell ain't Tupelo Or my blue suede shoes And it ain't the Vaught lights In an Oxford sky And it ain't an ole bar Singing about whiskey and rye Still something ain't right Yeah the more I'm gone The less has changed But a hurt this strong Won't get better with age Something's missin' from Mississippi It ain't all what it used to be She moved on and I moved away She's in every song I play A heartbreak queen that's what I'd been told Eyes so green made this ole boy fold Wonder if she'll ever think of me Something's missin' from Mississippi Something's missin' from Mississippi It ain't all what it used to be She moved on and I moved away She's in every song I play A heartbreak queen that's what I'd been told Eyes so green made this ole boy fold Wonder if she'll ever think of me But something's missin' from Mississippi It's that girl and what we used to be She hears this song she'll be thinking about me But something's missin' from Mississippi
