Poor Mississippi
from Taxidermy (Brought Back To Life) by Mr. & Mrs. Smith
lyrics
Poor Mississippi
Poor Mississippi it’s too sweet standing next to Louisiana
got them dirty ol boys draggin their feet
Be it in the blood
them veins caked with mud
ohhhhh it runs deep (don’t skip the ol sip Mississippi)
If I could crack my whip and write my name
in the dirt of families graves
Poor Mississippi it’s too sweet standing next to Louisiana
well texas you’re a different breed
I won’t take your name
for my heart it bleeds
oh texas your too big for your britches
don’t get me wrong
i like your songs
I like your geography just keep that distance from me
well texas you’re a different breed
Hey Alabama
known you my whole life
you’re part the reason why I’m alive
Alabama known you my whole life
You see I’m a florida gal
with roots that run all thru the south
give me good drink give me good eats
give me good ol people them the kind I like to meet
Poor Mississippi it’s too sweet standing next to Louisiana
got them dirty ol boys draggin their feet
Be it in the blood
them veins caked with mud
ohhhhh it runs deep (don’t skip the ol sip Mississippi)
If I could crack my whip and write my name
in the dirt of families graves
Poor Mississippi it’s too sweet standing next to Louisiana
well texas you’re a different breed
I won’t take your name
for my heart it bleeds
oh texas your too big for your britches
don’t get me wrong
i like your songs
I like your geography just keep that distance from me
well texas you’re a different breed
Hey Alabama
known you my whole life
you’re part the reason why I’m alive
Alabama known you my whole life
You see I’m a florida gal
with roots that run all thru the south
give me good drink give me good eats
give me good ol people them the kind I like to meet
