The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
It's a late night show, on the radio Goin' down the road, with the wolf-man Lightnin' bugs all around, moonlight shinin' down On little sleepy towns, down in the flat-land I can still hear mama calling Son it's tome to come on in And when the darkness started fallin' Everybody gathered 'round the table, amen. Mississippi Moon hanging in the haze I wish I never left you Spent enough time in the old rat race Goin' back down to the Delta Barbecues, back porch news And guitar blues, just about sundown Mockingbird melodies, watermelon memories Cruising the streets, downtown Hot summer nights down on the levy She spread the blanket on the ground There ain't no feeling like the first time When the innocence is lost and love is found Mississippi Moon hanging in the haze I could almost reach out and touch you Been so long and I've missed your face Goin' back down to the Delta I'm tired of searching for the answers Always out there on the run I'm going back to where my heart is Down Highway 61 Mississippi Moon hanging in the haze Almost reach and touch you Been so long and I've missed your face Goin' back down to the Delta Mississippi Moon hanging in the haze Wish I never left you Spent enough time in the old rat race Goin' back down to the Delta Mississippi Moon Mississippi Moon
