Ride these Mississippi Backroads
Exploring Love Along Mississippi's Back Roads
Lyrics
I used to ride these rollin' highways by myself
Expressing the experience of solo travel on the highways.
Head out highway 310, catch a left
Providing a specific highway route (310) and turning left.
Head up to Tunica lookin' for a game
Heading to Tunica, possibly for a recreational activity like gambling.
But ever since I met you, it just don't feel the same
Feeling a change in experience since meeting someone.
I wanna ride these Mississippi back roads with you
Expressing a desire to share the experience of Mississippi back roads with a companion.
I wanna ride these Mississippi back roads with you
Reiteration of the desire to share the back road experience.
While we're listenin' to some R.L. Burnside, havin' a sip or two
Desiring to enjoy the journey with music (R.L. Burnside) and a drink.
Tomorrow it'll be 110 in the shade
Anticipating hot weather but feeling content in the present moment.
But today I think we gotta made
Feeling that today is special despite the upcoming hot weather.
I wanna ride these Mississippi back roads with you
Reiterating the desire to share Mississippi back roads with a companion.
It's Saturday night, we gotta make a stop or two
Setting the scene for a Saturday night outing.
I want some mushrooms from Como Steakhouse, how bout you
Expressing a specific desire for mushrooms from Como Steakhouse.
Then we'll head out to Sam's Town lookin' for that game
Planning to visit Sam's Town, possibly for another recreational activity.
But even if I'm winning it just don't feel the same
Reflecting that even winning doesn't bring the same joy without the companion.
I wanna ride these Mississippi back roads with you
Reiteration of the desire to share Mississippi back roads.
Maybe we'll pull in to Sardis, 2 or 3 a.m
Contemplating a late-night stop in Sardis.
Jump in the water for a late night swim
Suggesting a late-night swim in Sardis.
Make love on a blanket under starry skies
Desiring intimacy under the starry skies.
And when we wake up tomorrow, it'll be alright
Believing that everything will be alright when waking up.
Cause I'll be riding these Mississippi backroads with you
Reaffirming the desire to ride Mississippi back roads with a companion.
While we're listenin' to some R.L. Burnside, havin' a hit or two
Expressing the desire to enjoy music and a few hits with the companion.
Tomorrow it'll be 110 in the shade
Acknowledging the upcoming hot weather but feeling content in the present.
But today I think we gotta made
Reiterating the specialness of the present day despite the hot weather.
I wanna ride these Mississippi back roads with you
Reaffirming the desire to share Mississippi back roads with a companion.
Let me ride these Mississippi back roads
Repeatedly expressing the desire to ride Mississippi back roads with the companion.
Let me ride these Mississippi back roads
-Let me ride these Mississippi back roads with you
