There's a cigar box full o' usual toys
And the dragon fly was dead
Locked up inside the usual noise
That happens in my head
She sewed my clothes with a wrinkled nose
I was glad to have a drink
Some swedish lies and the price was right
In the mississippi heat
Chorus
Mississippi heat's alive and well
Smilin' up the alley all black and white
With a sign for a sally
And a righteous fare thee well
She was clingin' to me i was singin' to her
Suffocation made the play
I was strung out cold lookin' out the door
In the mississippi heat
So i split the scene back east to dream
In another state affair
Stealin' sleep inside a bottle
From the mississippi heat
Chorus
You can change your clothes maybe change your mind
Even buy a point o' view
But the same ol joe wakes up in the mornin'
With the blues inside o' you
Chorus
Chorus
