Mississippi Free

All I ever was or ever could be

is a daydreaming boy with my memories

Standing on the shore of the Mississippi

breathing fresh country air in the land of the free

Them cotton fields are white as snow cowboys singing at the rodeo

Grand ole Opry is the greatest show

in the land of the free, and I wanna go

I wanna go I gotta go

Mississippi Free Woo

All I ever felt or ever could see

was the joy of southern hospitality Humm

Paw-paw taught me courage, my Ma-maw taught me love

And my grand-pappy taught me how to whittle on wood

The moonlit nights were hot as coal

Southern girls really tempt my soul

All my friends were always told,

care for the young and respect the old

Respect the old

and always be Mississippi Free Aw Eee

Instrumental

Aw Nice

All I ever want or ever could need is the kick

I get from good corn whiskey

I get bleary in the eye weary in the thigh

I get weak in the knee I get higher than I need to be

Well, everything is fine, everything is nice

it all tastes cooler with a little ice

Happy that the good lord made it to be in the home of the brave and land of the free

By golly me lucky me yeah Mississippi Free

Lord have mercy ummmm so good

a little more free yeah everybody

get a little more free now

I love Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee

But I’ll Always Be Mississippi Free

Hey hey hey Yeah Yeah Mississippi Free ha-hah Yeah Mississippi
