[Intro]
E D A E (x2)
[Verse 1]
E D A E
I pulled up to her house, a quarter past on time, A shaky hand knocked on that door
E D A E
Butterflies and pick-up lines, were all that was on my mind, as we drove past that black land store
E D A
Windows down as we rolled up to that 20-mile riverbank, not a city light in the sky but we could see alright
D
And it's you I have to thank
[Chorus]
E D A E
Mississippi moon, shine down on me, Like the weight of love, so my heart can see
E D A E
Let the night burn slow, take your time now, now I don't care, just Mississippi moon shine.
[Verse 2]
E D A E
Fireflies were dancing to George Strait on the radio, and she looked so good in love that I just smiled
E D A
We held each other close as those twilight eyes passed by, hiding from that sun yeah we were ready to run
D
Because it just all felt right
[Chorus]
E D A E
Mississippi moon, shine down on me, Like the weight of love, so my heart can see
E D A E
Let the night burn slow, take your time now, now I don't care, just Mississippi moon shine.
[Instrumental]
