Been drinking all night, sleeping all day
The music cared for me all of the way.
Been hoping and praying to save some lives
Seven people killed in the heat of the night.
It's the Mississippi river at its bended knee
The moon in the river keeps looking at me
The Mississippi river 200 feet deep
Full moon on the river and I can't go to sleep.
The Mississippi mouth is open wide
Ready for a kiss, she's the queen of the night
The sun comes up puts lipstick on her lips
A shiny silver body she's moving her hips.
It's the Mississippi river at its bended knee
The moon in the river keeps looking at me
The Mississippi river 200 feet deep
Full moon on the river and I can't go to sleep
Been praying and hoping to save some lives
Seven people killed in the heat of the night.
It's the Mississippi river at its bended knee
The moon in the river keeps looking at me
The Mississippi river 200 feet deep
Full moon on the river and I can't go to sleep
