Worsham, Charlie - Mississippi In July Lyrics






These delta roads, everyone I know
By the cotton fields and railroad tracks.
It's more than just the heat, most folks
Who would get the chance to leave but don't come back.
Last time I thought about you in a wedding dress
I would've been holding your hand.
But at seventeen you promise things
That you don't really understand.

Mississippi in July, magnolia moonlight
The warm wind was just right for staying up all night
And letting love fly; Mississippi in July.

My heart might as well be one of those canes
Tied to the back of your limousine.
It was hanging by a thread, so I went ahead
And cut the string.
If I asked you way back when, if you'd take my hand
Would you say "I do"?
I'm supposed to hope you're happy,
But letting go don't feel the way it's supposed to.

Mississippi in July, magnolia moonlight
The warm wind was just right for staying up all night
And letting love fly; Mississippi in July.

Magnolia moonlight
The warm wind was just right for staying up all night
But some memories never die, honeysuckle kisses
If I could live on wishes, I'd stay here all the time
Oh, Mississippi in July.
Mississippi in July.

These delta roads, everyone I know
By the cotton fields and railroad tracks.

    What a lovely song. I had the pleasure of seeing Charlie live a few years ago and enjoyed the show immensely he's the real deal super talented and humble too. Both voices sound beautiful together on this song it makes for a haunting Melody that stays with me. Can't wait to see what Charlie does next.

    Heard you last night on the Opry, you have guts performing up there by yourself, more than I could ever do. Best of luck to you and its good to hear Country Music that isnt about getting drunk and partying. Itd be cool if you could do some Nitty Gritty covers, as your voice could lend itself to it.

    I love this and I'm not a big country fan. I went to school with charlie, and he hit the nail on the head when he said most who get the chance to leave never go back. I left ms in 99 and I don't know if I will ever go back.

    NPR brought me here.  I like this.  It doesn't really sound alt-country at all though, but instead more like what mainstream country either should or could be.
