Mississippi Highway
Wont you carry me back home
Mississippi Highway
Wont you carry me back home
On down through Louisiana
Back to them good folks that i know

Try my hand in the city
Been an odd for the man
Try my hand in the city lord
Been an odd for the man
Til they boarded up that factory
Sent my job off to japan


Up in the city, they dont have no fun
Runnin round in circles lord
Dont get nothin done
Me I love my moonshine
And I love to get high
Sit up on that front porch
Wath the day go by

Mississippi Highway
Wont you carry me back home
On down through Louisiana
Back to them good folks that i know

I said now Mississippi Highway
Wont you carry me back home
Come on now Mississippi Highway
Wont you carry me back Home
On down through Louisiana
Back to them good folks that i know

I said now Mississippi Highway
Wont you carry me back home
Come on now Mississippi Highway
Wont you carry me home sweet home
On down through Louisiana
Back to them good folks that i know
