Mississippi Moon Lyrics - Anderson John

It's a late night show, on the radio 

Goin' down the road, with the wolf-man 

Lightnin' bugs all around, moonlight shinin' down 

On little sleepy towns, down in the flat-land 

I can still hear mama calling 

Son it's tome to come on in 

And when the darkness started fallin' 

Everybody gathered 'round the table, amen. 

Mississippi Moon hanging in the haze 

I wish I never left you 

Spent enough time in the old rat race 

Goin' back down to the Delta 

Barbecues, back porch news 

And guitar blues, just about sundown 

Mockingbird melodies, watermelon memories 

Cruising the streets, downtown 

Hot summer nights down on the levy 

She spread the blanket on the ground 

There ain't no feeling like the first time 

When the innocence is lost and love is found 

Mississippi Moon hanging in the haze 

I could almost reach out and touch you 

Been so long and I've missed your face 

Goin' back down to the Delta 

I'm tired of searching for the answers 

Always out there on the run 

I'm going back to where my heart is 

Down Highway 61 

Mississippi Moon hanging in the haze 

Almost reach and touch you 

Been so long and I've missed your face 

Goin' back down to the Delta 

Mississippi Moon hanging in the haze 

Wish I never left you 

Spent enough time in the old rat race 

Goin' back down to the Delta 

Mississippi Moon 

Mississippi Moon
