[Verse 1] I used to live in Mississippi No one ever used to ask my missus for a dance Or a little romance I used to live in Mississippi No one ever gave my wife no strife Cause she's a traveling daughter [Chorus] She may be born with angel wings Cause suicide with the way she sings She still mixes her vodka with a gin No one will catch her when she leans We'll think about her in their dreams She still kicks her way in She's my one and only Keeps me from being lonely So if you were wondering That's why Mississippi's so lonely (yeah) [Verse 2] I used to live in Mississippi No one ever used to see me as the weak man That I am I used to live in Mississippi No one ever cared we were tripping why Cause she's a traveling daughter [Chorus] She may be born with angel wings Cause suicide with the way she sings She still mixes her vodka with a gin (now) No one will catch her when she leans Think about her in their dreams She still kicks her way in She's my one and only Keeps me from being lonely (yeah) If you were wondering That's why Mississippi's so lonely (yeah) [Bridge] There's nothing right about the two of you There's nothing right about the now there's two There's nothing right about the two of you They're all scared by the time you're through now [Chorus] She's my one and only Keeps me from being lonely So if you were wondering That's why Mississippi's so lonely (yeah)
