[Verse 1]
Mississippi, you've been on my mind
Like the mist in the morning
From some dream I've left behind
Mississippi, I've been kinda down
'Cause it's been such a long time
Since I've seen old Jackson town

[Bridge]
I could be on the other side of the world
But in my memory, all I can see
Is Spanish moss hanging from a live oak tree

[Verse 2]
Mississippi, save a place for me
I'll be coming home again
Mississippi, until then
You'll be on my mind

[Refrain]
I'll be coming home again
Mississippi, until then
You'll be on my mind
