"Mississippi Blood" lyrics

"Mississippi Blood"

[JVZ:] She’s got Mississippi Blood runnin’ through her veins
Her mama was a looker from New Orleans
[RM:] Daddy worked hard with a gun in his boot
Blow you away click bang boom boom
[JVZ:] Good ol’ dude said she broke his heart
Threw it on the ground – stomped it hard
[RM:] But I wanna tell you a little song I know
Before they be carvin’ my name in stone

[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[JVZ:] She’s a dirty little thing – crazy as hell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[RM:] She’s my rock-n’-roll queen – sweet southern bell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[JVZ:] She’s a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh

[JVZ:] Like an old blues song stuck in my head
Mississippi mud and I’m sinking in
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] Cut off jeans, tied t-shirt
Drinkin’ from the bottle – rollin’ in the dirt
Foot on the gas – el camino
“Ridin’ With the King” on the Radio

[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[RM:] She’s a dirty little thing – crazy as hell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[JVZ:] She’s my rock-n’-roll queen – sweet southern bell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] She’s a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh

[BOTH:] Like an old blues song stuck in my head
Mississippi mud and I’m sinking in
She reads from the good book just to be bad
Lyin’ in the hay – she likes to move fast
An old blues song stuck in my head
Work all day and...

[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] She’s a dirty little thing – crazy as hell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] She’s my rock-n’-roll queen – sweet southern bell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] She’s a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh

[BOTH:] Like an old blues song stuck in my head
[JVZ:] Mississippi mud and I’m sinking in
