MISSISSIPPI
A
Had it with the wife thing, livin’ on a shoestring
D A
What’s a poor girl gotta do just to have some fun
Well all these year without your help
Guess what honey clothes don’t wash themselves
D A
Neither do dishes, neither do bathroom floors
E
If anyone asks, not that they would
D A
I’ll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
No more what a bore, had enough I’m out the door
Headed for a breakdown, had it with the small town
Gonna call Lisa, gonna call Carla Sue
Gonna let ‘em roll, gonna let ‘em rip
Gonna get us a nice room down on the strip
Not that we’ll need it, there won’t be any sleepin’ tonight
If anyone asks, not that they would
I’ll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
D
Hammer down here we go runnin’ for the riverboat
A
All you’re gonna see are asses and elbows
D
Luck’s about to change for these three queens
E
Tired of gettin’ jokers deal us up kings
Hammer down here we go runnin’ for the riverboat
All you’re gonna see are asses and elbows
Luck’s about to change for these three queens
Tired of gettin’ jokers deal us up kings
Snake eyes, roll the dice, double down and hit me twice
Cashin’ in the big chips, gonna leave a big tip
I’m hotter than a 2 dollar pistol, baby I’m on fire
If anyone asks, not that they would
I’ll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
