Well given the tall grass you´re livin´ in
It´s not ideal to keep fire in your life
And the Delta Winds keep pickin´ on me
As I´m makin´ it down the line

Sorry to burn so unexpectedly
But it ain´t goin´ out with the rain in your eyes
Mississippi burnin´ in the middle of
The raging wind tonight

Black gold and coal´s open up the throttle
To get me the hell away
From that Mason-Dixon line
Sit on the floor
And lock the door-
Dancin´ with a bottle
Takin´ it home where the buffalo roam on track 29
Track 29

Given the tone of your delivery
And the habit of seeing me kinda blow right by,
And the Delta Winds keep trickin´ me
That I hear your words arrive

She said she found the arms of another man
Well to tell you the truth man
She should´ve lied
Mississippi lyin´ in the middle
Of a bed of nails tonight

Black gold and coal´s open up the throttle
To get me the hell away
From that Mason-Dixon line
Sit on the floor
And lock the door-
Dancin´ with a bottle
Takin´ it home where the buffalo roam on track 29
Track 29
