Lyrics
Mississippi Momma She was born in a little town Not far from the Natchez Trace That red brick house on a country road Blessed her with southern grace She learned respect and she learned to pray And subtle strength along the way That’s where she learned to be who she would be Times weren’t always easy But, times weren’t always hard And in her eyes I’ve always been A shining star Oh, there’s nothing like the love Of a Mississippi momma Cotton fields stretched out for miles On long hot summer nights Time for tears and time for smiles When things went wrong or right Her gentle soul and loving ways Helped make me who I am today She taught me how to be who I should be Times weren’t always easy But, times weren’t always hard And in her eyes I’ve always been A shining star Oh, there’s nothing like the love Of a Mississippi momma Her heart of gold has always seen me through There’s a piece of her in everything I do (solo) Times weren’t always easy But, times weren’t always hard And in her eyes I’ve always been A shining star Oh, there’s nothing like the love Of a Mississippi momma I pray to be more like her every day So one day I can hear my little girl say Times weren’t always easy But, times weren’t always hard And in her eyes I’ve always been A shining star Oh, there’s nothing like the love Of a Mississippi momma A Mississippi momma My sweet southern momma
