Story behind the song
I lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast for a few years and this is the way I feel about the beautiful State.

Lyrics - Rebecca Dale Peaden (BMI)/Music - Dimitri Birioukov - Demo
My roots are in the land of hospitality
And when I can't be there I turn to memories
Of rocking on long porches, drinking ice cold tea
And naps on lawns of Antebellum homes
There's sweet magnolias and buzzing honeybees
Mockingbirds singing and sounds of Mardi Gras
Dark muddy waters with swamp-soaked trees
And large mouth bass in the land of Chickasaw
Chorus:
Mississippi, beautiful State of mine
Mississippi, your graceful spirit shines
When I close my eyes, I can feel you in my soul
Mississippi, you are with me all the time
Shrimp boats trawl 'neath a lazy summer moon
I can almost taste the gumbo and jumbalaya too
Rambling cotton fields, crepe myrtles in full bloom
Tho I'm away my heart belongs to you
Chorus:
Mississippi, beautiful State of mine
Mississippi, your graceful spirit shines
When I close my eyes, I can feel you in my soul
Mississippi, you are with me all the time
Outtro:
When I close my eyes I can feel you in my soul
Mississippi, you are with me all the time
Mississippi, you are with me all the time
