Young love at Ole Miss in bloom by the light of that Oxford moon

Skyscrapers and blue suede shoes Jimmie Rodgers and Elvis too

Mississippi homegrown



Home of the land where the cotton grows the fields look like southers snow

Spanish moss and velvet lawns congregation singing gospel songs

Mississippi homegrown



Things move a little slower down here warm summer nights and cold Jax beer

Joints get to jumpin' to the Delta blues like a cat on a hot tin roof

Mississippi homegrown

[ steel - guitar ]

Big muddy winds it's way down there smell of honeysuckle in the air

From south of Memphis to the sweet Gulf Coast

If you ain't been there you need to go

Mississippi homegrown



A little girl put a spell on me underneath a Mimosa tree

Can't get her out of my head she's Mississippi born and bred

Mississippi homegrown



Things move a little slower down here...

Mississippi homegrown Mississippi homegrown

Mississippi homegrown Mississippi homegrown
