Jackson, Mississippi Lyrics

And when the sunshine showed
Her face I felt like I was ready to die
Went lookin for a place to hide
A hole I could crawl inside
Long lines
Whiskey bottles
And the same old song
I smell death in the air
And I know it wont be long

And I could say I'm trying to change
But thats just another lie
Its been a day and a half
And I'm still high

And I feel like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running...
Like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running...
Like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running thru my veins

And when the daylight disappeared
I took a good look inside
Behind my pride
I sat down and cried
I know I'm not a fool
But I dont know what's wrong
Mabe its time to pack
And just move on...

And I could say I'm trying to change
But that's just be a lie
I'm lookin for some one to tell me why

And I feel like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running...
Like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running...
Like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running thru my veins

A river running...
A river running through my veins
A river running... through my veins
A river running through my veins...

another person who immediately assumes everything is about drugs :(

Cover art for Jackson, Mississippi lyrics by Kid Rock

yeah, it probably is somewhat associated with drugs, but I mean seriously, a day and a half and I am still high, of course drugs are involved, but sometimes drugs plus a certain mood are associated with a place, hell, I have felt like a lot of different places, and I think this is just a certain experience associated with a certain place, and once that feeling returns, the impulse to return to that particular place comes along with it

I love this song, what ever it means, but I do have a problem with it. I hope who ever wrote this song realizes the Misssissippi River does not flow through Jackson Mississippi, if that's the river it's referring to.

The Pearl River runs' through Jackson, the Ross Barnett Reservoir is formed by a dam on the Pearl River. Kid Rock performed the Music Video for (Jacksn, Mississippi) ontop of the docks surrounding the Ross Barnett Reservoir.

@R.Hanlin The Perl river is the county Line between Rankin and hinds county and Pearl and Jackson. I can assure you there are not huge docks like that on the Pearl River as well as no steam paddle gambling boats. those are on the Mississippi 40 miles from Jackson

@R.Hanlin That video was shot on the Mississippi River at New Orleans. Doesn't even resemble the Ross Barnett Reservoir or the Pearl River.
