Riley Green - Mississippi Or Me Lyrics

I ain't gonna lie
When those headlights pulled into my drive tonight
Was a sight for sore eyes, last thing I thought I'd see
And is something wrong? What brought you home?
Was it tough out on your own?
Or did you drive all the way down here just to see me?

Or was it the cotton fields stretchin' nearly countywide?
Them cool delta mornings or the Jackson nights?
Did your interstate dreams turn into a dead-end street?
Was it a midnight blanket on a river bank
Two names on a Tupelo water tank?
Was it somethin' 'bout a boy back home that your heart still needs
Were you missin' Mississippi or me?

When you hit town, was my house the first stop you thought about
Or you already been by to see your mama and them?
And I want you to know, in case you don't, I sure hated to see you go
Just tell me what it was that brought you back home again

Was it the cotton fields stretchin' nearly countywide?
Them cool delta mornings or the Jackson nights?
Did your interstate dreams turn into a dead-end street?
Was it a midnight blanket on a river bank
Or two names on a Tupelo water tank?
Was it somethin' bout a boy back home that your heart still needs?
Were you missin' Mississippi or me?
Yeah, were you missin' Mississippi or me?

Are you back for good or just passin' thorugh?
Do you need me like I need you?

Or was it the cotton fields stretchin' nearly countywide?
Them cool delta mornings or the Jackson nights?
Did your interstate dreams turn into a dead-end street?
Was it a midnight blanket on a river bank?
Two names on a Tupelo water tank?
Was it somethin' bout a boy back home that your heart still needs
So before I take you back like that, baby, tell me one thing
Were you missin' Mississippi or me?
Yeah, were you missin' Mississippi or me?
