The Mississippi Mudcat And Sister Sheryl Crow Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Written by Marty Stuart 

All right, all right, all right 

Well I am the main Mississippi Mudcat and always will be 

Hello everybody 

So there I was cruisin' through the country in my hot rod car 

Just visitin' my friends up and down the backroads 

I was driving slow 

I was driving slow, meditatin' on Sheryl Crow 

Sheryl Crow I'm telling you the truth now 

(He's telling you the truth) 

42 miles an hour my gasoline was all gone 

I was trying to look real cool and find my way back home 

Darn, dark, dark 

Driving slow, driving slow 

Just seemed like an endless supply of hi line poles and mailboxes 

Then all of a sudden there stood by the mail box at route 4 box 153 

A damsel, yes a damsel in disdress (alright) 

A damsel in disdress wearing high heels 

With big blue eyes that made the darkness crawl 

And a smile that could make a man cry 

Yes I know (yes he knows) ring that phone boys...Go 

I stopped and said "'hello 

And you are without a doubt the most beautiful magnolia I have ever seen in my life" 

She said "shut up Marty party 

What are you doing tonight riding around in that hot rod 

With that loud radio, showing off them chromium pipes and fold away wings" 

I said "baby, I'm just looking for gas cans, have you seen any" 

Sometimes a fast rubber-tired shiny car is the thing to have 

She said "well Marty party do you want some company 

You know my specialty is spotting gas cans" (uh oh yeah, uh-oh) 

She said to me, she said to me "what do you call this ride" 

I said "honey, this here is my rocket ship" (all right) 

And get in, just get in, just get in, just get in 

Let's go home now 

Alright
