Well it ain't the humpbacks
Or that crooked letter S
And it ain't the longnecks
A bottle of Cathead's best
That river's still flowing
On down to New Orleans
Well it ain't the greenheads
On a delta sunrise
Ain't the truckbeds
Backed up on Friday nights
But something ain't right
Something's missin' from Mississippi
It ain't all what it used to be
She moved on and I moved away
She's in every song I play
A heartbreak queen that's what I'd been told
Eyes so green made this ole boy fold
Wonder if she'll ever think of me
Something's missin' from Mississippi
Well it ain't the crossroads
Or them Clarksdale blues
Sure as hell ain't Tupelo
Or my blue suede shoes
And it ain't the Vaught lights
In an Oxford sky
And it ain't an ole bar
Singing about whiskey and rye
Still something ain't right
Yeah the more I'm gone
The less has changed
But a hurt this strong
Won't get better with age
Something's missin' from Mississippi
It ain't all what it used to be
She moved on and I moved away
She's in every song I play
A heartbreak queen that's what I'd been told
Eyes so green made this ole boy fold
Wonder if she'll ever think of me
Something's missin' from Mississippi
Something's missin' from Mississippi
It ain't all what it used to be
She moved on and I moved away
She's in every song I play
A heartbreak queen that's what I'd been told
Eyes so green made this ole boy fold
Wonder if she'll ever think of me
But something's missin' from Mississippi
It's that girl and what we used to be
She hears this song she'll be thinking about me
But something's missin' from Mississippi
