Forest Mississippi Songtext
If the sun don’t shine, if my lady keeps lyin’
If the flowers are burning right off of the vine
If my hair turns to gray I’ll book an extended stay
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
Forest Mississippi is where I claim I was born
Twenty-five years and I still haven’t gone
I know it’s a town and one thing I’m sure
It’s the birthplace of bullshit and gettin’ through doors
If the flowers are burning right off of the vine
If my hair turns to gray I’ll book an extended stay
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
Forest Mississippi is where I claim I was born
Twenty-five years and I still haven’t gone
I know it’s a town and one thing I’m sure
It’s the birthplace of bullshit and gettin’ through doors
If the sun don’t shine, if my lady keeps lyin’
If the flowers are burning right off of the vine
If my hair turns to gray I’ll book an extended stay
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
Head up to the counter, standing real tall
Well my knees are shaking, I hope I don't fall
My friends are out waiting, the car’s still in drive
Dear lord if you love me, just let me survive
If the sun don’t shine, if my lady keeps lyin’
If the flowers are burning right off of the vine
If my hair turns to gray I’ll book an extended stay
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
So if you get down to Mandeville or Franklin, Tennessee
Don’t burn all your daylight just looking for me
I‘m stirrin’ up trouble in some distant land
I’m just an old boy from South Birmingham
If the sun don’t shine, if my lady keeps lyin’
If the flowers are burning right off of the vine
If my hair turns to gray I’ll book an extended stay
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
If the flowers are burning right off of the vine
If my hair turns to gray I’ll book an extended stay
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
Head up to the counter, standing real tall
Well my knees are shaking, I hope I don't fall
My friends are out waiting, the car’s still in drive
Dear lord if you love me, just let me survive
If the sun don’t shine, if my lady keeps lyin’
If the flowers are burning right off of the vine
If my hair turns to gray I’ll book an extended stay
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
So if you get down to Mandeville or Franklin, Tennessee
Don’t burn all your daylight just looking for me
I‘m stirrin’ up trouble in some distant land
I’m just an old boy from South Birmingham
If the sun don’t shine, if my lady keeps lyin’
If the flowers are burning right off of the vine
If my hair turns to gray I’ll book an extended stay
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
Right there in Forest, Mississippi
