I ain't gonna lie, when those headlights
Pulled into my drive tonight
It was a sight for sore eyes, last thing I thought I'd see
And is somethin' wrong? What brought you home?
Was it tough out on your own?
Or did you drive all the way down here just to see me?
Or was it the cotton field stretchin' nearly county-wide?
Them cool Delta mornings or the Jackson nights?
Did your interstate dreams turn in to a dead-end street?
Was it a midnight blanket on a river bank?
Two names on a Tupelo water tank?
Was it somethin' bout a boy back home that your heart still needs?
Were you missin' Mississippi or me?
When you hit town, was my house
The first stop you thought about?
Have you already been by to see your mama and them?
And I want you to know in case you don't
I sure hated to see you go
Just tell me what it was that brought you back home again
Was it the cotton field stretchin' nearly county-wide?
Them cool Delta mornings or the Jackson nights?
Did your interstate dreams turn in to a dead-end street?
Was it a midnight blanket on a river bank?
Or two names on a Tupelo water tank?
Was it somethin' bout a boy back home that your heart still needs?
Were you missin' Mississippi or me?
Yeah, were you missin' Mississippi or me?
Are you back for good or just passin' through?
Do you need me like I need you?
Or was it the cotton field stretchin' nearly county-wide?
Them cool Delta mornings or the Jackson nights?
Did your interstate dreams turn in to a dead-end street?
Was it a midnight blanket on a river bank?
Two names on a Tupelo water tank?
Was it somethin' bout a boy back home that your heart still needs?
So before I take you back like that, baby, tell me one thing
Were you missin' Mississippi or me?
Yeah, were you missin' Mississippi or me?
