Verse 1: I pulled up to her house, A quarter past on time. A shaky hand knocked on that door.
Butterflies and pick-up lines, Were all that was on my mind, As we drove past that Blackland store.
Verse 2: Windows down as we pulled up, To that Twenty-mile river bank Not a city light in the sky, But we could see alright, And it's you I have to thank.
Chorus: Mississippi Moon, Shine down on me. Light the way to love, So my heart can see. Let the night burn slow, Take your time now, Now, I don't care, Just the Mississippi moon shine.
Verse 3: Fireflies were dancing, To George Strait on the radio, And she looked so good in love, That I just smiled.
We held each other close, As though twilight hours passed by Hiding from that sun, yeah we were ready to run, Because it just all felt right.
