"Mississippi" Lyrics

On the banks of the mississippi
Oh, where we used to be ourselves
We just worry bout' the times and worry bout' the lines
and the words we didn't say
on the banks of the Mississippi
Oh, where we used to be ourselves
didn't have to worry bout hypocrisy or worry bout the Sadducees
cuz, we didn't have to be somebody else
on the banks of the Mississippi

Well the stars shine bright like the sweet morning sun
and the air is thick as we all have our fun
on the banks of the Mississippi

Well its two kids in the parking lot
on the banks of the Mississippi
two hearts gone wild with the feelin's of desire
anybody with love can tell
on the banks of the Mississippi

Well the stars shine bright like the sweet morning sun
and the air is thick as we all have our fun
on the banks of the Mississippi

Well the stars go down as the sun reappears
well we all have our dreams and we ohhhh, we all have our fears
on the banks of the Mississippi
