Mrs. Hippy Burning

You cross that line, she's never gonna let you turn

Straighten up and fly right or you're gonna crash and burn

That bluegrass girl, she'll never let you slip

She'll hang on to you like you was her last mint julep

Mississippi burning on a long hot summer night

I feel her yearning but she just can't get it right

Her mood is turning and it ain't a pretty sight

Mississippi burning

She'll take you in like a hound dog on a rainy day

When you're on the delta skelter, she'll ride you down all the way

She looks so good, it takes away your breath

But those pure white bed sheets, they scare me half to death

Mississippi burning on a long hot summer night

I feel her yearning but she just can't get it right

Her mood is turning and it ain't a pretty sight

Mississippi burning

To think you love her makes you wanna rebel yell

That's a big mistake boy, a gentleman he'd never tell

It gets that way, you better watch your mouth

Or everything you've ever loved, you'll watch it all go south

Mississippi burning on a long hot summer night

I feel her yearning but she just can't get it right

Her mood is turning and it ain't a pretty sight

Mississippi burning

She tastes like peach and you got Georgia on your mind

Her southern comfort, Lord, it's like to make you blind

That ain't no way to make too many friends

Frankly she don't give a damn 'cause how she doesn't care

Mississippi burning on a long hot summer night

I feel her yearning but she just can't get it right

Her mood is turning and it ain't a pretty sight

Mississippi burning
