emmy moyen - the thing about mississippi lyrics

[verse 1]
when i closed my eyes i could see your blue ones
you’re messing with your bulldogs cap
and i can hear your f+150
delta blues coming out the dash
you and me could be smiling under granddaddy’s dogwood tree
i’ll admit when i picture it, it looks real pretty

[chorus]
but that’s the thing about mississippi
and love at seventeen
it’s the kinda beautiful that makes most people happy
but here’s the thing about a dreamer
ain’t no sense trying to keep her
from chasing down the freedom
that her heart just wants so badly
we both know i can’t stay and you can’t leave
and that’s the thing about mississippi

[verse 2]
you deserve the life that your family’s worked
for years to pass on down to you
and you should get to see your kids
in the same backyard if you want to
there’s nothing wrong with staying put
and part of me wishes i could
[chorus]
but that’s the thing about mississippi
and love at seventeen
it’s the kinda beautiful that makes most people happy
but here’s the thing about a dreamer
ain’t no sense trying to keep her
from chasing down the freedom
that her heart just wants so badly
we both know i can’t stay and you can’t leave
and that’s the thing about mississippi
that’s the thing about mississippi

[bridge]
and i bet you’re gonna find a girl
with the same blonde hair and green eyes too
and she’ll have a little more stick around than i do
and she’ll teach kindergarden but i’ve got this guitar and

[chorus]
that’s the thing about mississippi
and love at seventeen
it’s the kinda beautiful that makes most people happy
but here’s the thing about a dreamer
ain’t no sense trying to keep her
from chasing down the freedom
that her heart just wants so badly
we both know i can’t stay and you can’t leave
and that’s the thing about mississippi
that’s the thing about mississippi, mm
