All that dark roast coffee grind
And all that quarter shine I left behind
Oyster shuckin knives
Late night dives
Church bell steeple chime
I said good-bye
Delivered by a saviour with a moving van
Delivered from the city to the country man
In my Mississippi home
Well I asked my friends to come on up
But it's hard to get them just to call
And its so dog-gone quiet here
You can hear the roaches climb the wall
Slow rockin' listen to cicadas serenade
Cold biscuit and a nice tall glass of lemonade
In my Mississippi home
Mississippi home
Mississippi home
Mississippi home
In my Mississippi home
Aw shucks, I don't need much
Everything's as cozy as can be
Cause there's an angel in the kitchen
And another in the nursery
Slow lovin'
More lovin'
In my Mississippi home
Mississippi home
Mississippi home
