Made in Mississippi
Soulful Echoes of a Rebel Heart: Made in Mississippi
Lyrics
Can't help but tell it
Expressing an inability to keep a revelation or truth to oneself
When I start talking
Indicating a tendency to speak openly
Nowhere to hide it
Suggesting there is no way to conceal the truth
When I speak my mind
Stating the direct expression of one's thoughts
Like yesterday
Reflecting on a past time, possibly with nostalgia
When the world was smaller
Recalling a time when the world seemed smaller and more intimate
And the truth was just as simple
Emphasizing the simplicity of truth in the past
As spreading another lie
Criticizing the tendency to spread lies rather than truth
Made in Mississippi
Referring to being born in Mississippi
A natural disposition
Describing a natural inclination or characteristic
Bleeding Southern pride
Expressing a strong connection to Southern heritage
Made in Mississippi
Reiterating the origin in Mississippi and embracing a rebellious spirit
A living loud rebel
Characterizing oneself as a vocal rebel
Til the day that I die
Commitment to a rebellious spirit until death
It must've been magic
Suggesting a magical or extraordinary origin of the blues
When the blues had a baby
Metaphorically referring to the birth of rock n roll
And rock n roll came crying out
Emphasizing the influence of blues and rock n roll
From the poorest side town
Referring to a humble or impoverished area
My kind of country
Describing a preferred type of country music
Dripping with soul
Indicating richness and depth in the country music style
And that ole' time religion
Highlighting the influence of traditional religion
Is taking control, Amen
Indicating a sense of spiritual control and affirmation
Made in Mississippi
Reiterating being made in Mississippi with a rebellious spirit
A natural disposition
Repeating the natural disposition and Southern pride
Bleeding southern pride
Emphasizing a strong connection to Southern heritage
Made in Mississippi
Reaffirming the rebellious nature made in Mississippi
Wade in the muddy water
Invoking the metaphor of wading in the muddy water for spiritual awakening
Let that Spirit come alive
Encouraging the awakening of the spirit
I can't deny I'm needing
Expressing a need for a simple and holy feeling
That holy simple feeling
Reiterating the desire for a profound spiritual experience
I can't deny I'm needing
Continuing the expression of the need for a holy and simple feeling
That holy simple feeling
Repeating the longing for a profound and spiritual sensation
I can't deny I'm needing
Emphasizing the persistent desire for a deep spiritual connection
That holy simple feeling
Reiterating the need for a simple and holy feeling
No matter where I'm at
Asserting that the heart belongs to Mississippi regardless of location
My heart is at home
Stating a sense of belonging and home in Mississippi
Made in Mississippi
Reaffirming being made in Mississippi with a rebellious spirit
A natural disposition
Repeating the natural disposition and Southern pride
Bleeding Southern pride
Emphasizing a strong connection to Southern heritage
Made in Mississippi
Reaffirming the rebellious nature made in Mississippi
A living loud rebel
Characterizing oneself as a living loud rebel until death
Till the day that I die
Commitment to a rebellious spirit until death
A living loud rebel
Reiterating the commitment to living as a loud rebel until death
Till the day that I die
Affirming the commitment to a rebellious spirit until death
