Written by bassist Hal Vorpahl. Hal is from East Texas but his education in literature and poetry prove you can write a song about anything and make people feel like they have been there before.
Lyrics
Mississippi Highway Wont you carry me back home Mississippi Highway Wont you carry me back home On down through Louisiana Back to them good folks that i know Try my hand in the city Been an odd for the man Try my hand in the city lord Been an odd for the man Til they boarded up that factory Sent my job off to japan Up in the city, they dont have no fun Runnin round in circles lord Dont get nothin done Me I love my moonshine And I love to get high Sit up on that front porch Wath the day go by Mississippi Highway Wont you carry me back home On down through Louisiana Back to them good folks that i know I said now Mississippi Highway Wont you carry me back home Come on now Mississippi Highway Wont you carry me back Home On down through Louisiana Back to them good folks that i know I said now Mississippi Highway Wont you carry me back home Come on now Mississippi Highway Wont you carry me home sweet home On down through Louisiana Back to them good folks that i know
