Crossin' The Mississippi

(アルバム： Variations - 1978)

Well, I'm a-crossing the Mississippi into heaven tonight
I got a little lady named Suzanna on the other side
And when that Memphis lady's on my mind
Well, you can see me heading 'cross the Tennessee borderline
I'm crossing the Mississippi into heaven tonight

I got a good-paying job in Little Rock, Arkansas
I am a hard-working guy, I'm patriotic, and I don't break the law
But when my fantasies start to flow
Well, I jump in the Ford and it's down the road I go
I'm crossing the Mississippi into heaven tonight

Well, there's a devil driving this car down the highway
There's a burning in my body that I can't control
Red wine and a fun time and easy loving
That's why I'm crossing the Mississippi into heaven
Crossing the Mississippi into heaven
Crossing the Mississippi into heaven tonight
That's right

Well, there's a devil driving this car down the highway
There's a burning in my body that I can't control
Red wine and a fun time and easy loving
That's why I'm crossing the Mississippi into heaven
Crossing the Mississippi into heaven
Crossing the Mississippi into heaven tonight

Crossing the Mississippi
Crossing the Mississippi
Crossing into heaven
Crossing the Mississippi
Crossing into heaven
