Letra de Mississippi In July

These delta roads, everyone I know
By the cotton fields and railroad tracks
It's more than just the heat, most folks
Who would get the chance to leave but don't come back
Last time I thought about you in a wedding dress
I would've been holding your hand
But at seventeen you promise things
That you don't really understand

Mississippi in July, magnolia moonlight
The warm wind was just right for staying up all night
And letting love fly; Mississippi in July

My heart might as well be one of those canes
Tied to the back of your limousine
It was hanging by a thread, so I went ahead
And cut the string
If I asked you way back when, if you'd take my hand
Would you say "I do"?
I'm supposed to hope you're happy
But letting go don't feel the way it's supposed to

Mississippi in July, magnolia moonlight
The warm wind was just right for staying up all night
And letting love fly; Mississippi in July

Magnolia moonlight
The warm wind was just right for staying up all night
But some memories never die, honeysuckle kisses
If I could live on wishes, I'd stay here all the time
Oh, Mississippi in July
Mississippi in July

These delta roads, everyone I know
By the cotton fields and railroad tracks
