Felt like a stranger guiding the ghost
Passed by an old house it used to be my home
I’m afraid she might not miss me yeah when I’m gone

Mississippi turnpike
1000 miles
On my road
Too late to turn around this is how far I go
Getting tired of pretending
Take me where I wanna be

Back to the delta back to the open green
Back to the old haunt used to be my scene
There’s a buick in the driveway 1963

Yeah Mississippi turnpike
1000 miles
On that road
Too late to turn around this is how far I go
Getting tired of pretending
Take me where I wanna be
Where it feels like me
Where it feels like me

Memories are mockingbirds
I heard a screen door slam
I’m through complaining or trying to understand
Didn’t know who I was kidding till I just ran

Yeah Mississippi turnpike
1000 miles
On that road
Too late to turn around this is how far I go
Getting tired of pretending
Take me where I wanna be
Getting tired of pretending
Take me where I wanna be
