about

Written by Tom Waselchuk, in a van in Mississippi headed home to Wisconsin.

lyrics

Oh Mississippi is such a pretty sight
Spanish moss and cypress and swamps black as night
A warm rain is falling this morning off and on
But it ain’t nothing, anyway not enough to slow me down
Lately it’s felt like one long chase
To get me to this place

I’ve been rolling down this highway forever and a day
My traveling time is over and I’m headed home to stay
I can’t wait to see you and to hold you close to me
You know it never made a lick of sense till I began to see
That our lives are not just one long race
To get us to this place

I’m not proud of the times that I made you cry
This garden’s been watered by your tears and mine
That’s just the way of the world, so don’t worry bout what’s been
You see the golden sun of summer and winter’s chilly wind
Have carved out a safe and sacred space
And brought us to this place

Oh Mississippi is such a pretty sight
Spanish moss and cypress and swamps black as night
A warm rain is falling this morning off and on
But it ain’t nothing, anyway not enough to slow me down
So just for today I’ll pick up my pace
And get me to this place (Oh Mississippi)
