Jackson, Mississippi Lyrics
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
But thats just another lie
Its been a day and a half
And I'm still high
A river running...
Like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running...
Like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running thru my veins
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...
But that's just be a lie
I'm lookin for some one to tell me why
A river running...
Like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running...
Like Jackson, Mississippi
A river running thru my veins
A river running through my veins
A river running... through my veins
A river running through my veins...

I think it's about heroine.

another person who immediately assumes everything is about drugs :(

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

^ my thoughts exactly

crap i was gonna say somethin bout the meaning but thats covered song rocks though

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.

i think the river is metaphorical, and what the hell happend in jackson mississippi to make him write this song?

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

i think its about him falling for a girl in jackson ms but he partied too hard got drunk, stoned, whatever and lost her and now he cant get over her

Are you guys sure this isn't a cover? Still a great song, though.
