It's a long way to Mississippi
From San Francisco or Miami Beach
Don't know how I'm gonna get there
Probibly try and hitch a ride
It's so far away Gotta come back here someday
Time is on my side Can't be taken for a ride
My great grandpappy died and left me money
I don't know much about him at all
I'm leavin' towm tomorrow
Should get back by the fall
It's so far away Gotta come back here someday
Time is on my side Can't be taken for a ride
I'm comin' back to you It's the thing I wanna do
I have to go far away But I'll be back someday
It's almost time to go I can't tell you anymore
I don't wanna say goodbye As I stand by your door
It's so far away Gotta come back here someday
Time is on my side Won't be taken for a ride
Won't be taken for a ride
