Lyrics

She Sure Put the Miss in Mississippi

Verse 1
Met this beauty down in Jackson
She left my heart in flames
Had a face like Faith Hill
And the body of Shania Twain
We danced a couple of two-steps
And I stole a kiss or two
But she was the better thief
Because before the night was through

Chorus
She Sure  Put The Miss in Mississippi
This boy was missing a few dreams
And like that mighty river
She made her way to New Orleans
With my wallet and my credit cards
I never knew what hit me
She Sure Put The Miss in Mississippi

Verse 2
Sheriff called to say they caught her
Down in the French quarter
Said she'd be back in Jackson
To be charged in short order
Though this fool and his money
Were reunited by the jury
Well this fool and his heart
You know that's another story

Chorus
She Sure Put The Miss in Mississippi
This boy's missing a few dreams
And like that mighty river
She'll make her way down to New Orleans
I got my wallet and my credit cards
But my heart's no longer with me
She Sure Put The Miss in Mississippi

Bridge
I got a friend I know
Down in Tupelo
Called to say he met that same beauty
A while ago
Said she stole more than his wallet
And lord don't I know

Chorus
She Sure Put The Miss in Mississippi
That boy's missing a few dreams
And like that mighty river
She made her way to New Orleans
With his wallet and his credit cards
Now his heart is history
She Sure Put The Miss in Mississippi

Tag
She Sure Put The Miss in Mississippi
She Sure Put The Miss in Mississippi
She Sure Put The Miss in Mississippi
