Verse 1
Oh, I've never known a feeling
Oh, I've never known a place
That makes me feel I'm home again
When I'm a thousand miles away Those bright lights in New York City
They shine bright from far away
Oh, but nothing comes and steals my heart
Like that Mississippi way Chorus
Oh, I wanna go back home
Oh, I wanna go back home
Mississippi, take me home Verse 2
Oh, there's something bout that sunset sky
Drifting on across the hill
And magnolia leaves are dancing
With that whispering autumn breeze But for every reason not to go
There's a thousand more to stay
Like that feeling that your family brings
A love not taken away. Chorus
Oh, I wanna go back home
Oh, I wanna go back home
Mississippi, take me home Oh, I wanna go back home
Oh, I wanna go back home
Mississippi, take me home
Won't you take me home Bridge
Let's go, let's go home
Let's go, let's go home
Let's go, let's go home
We're Mississippi bound Chorus
Oh, I wanna go back home
Oh, I wanna go back home
Mississippi, take me home
