This song seems to be written as the Bonnie and Clyde of Louisiana. Kelly was already the criminal type lookin for trouble. Sara was looking for a change of pace from college life so she joins him. They travel around doing whatever they feel like doing until they get caught. Kelly tells Sara if "we ever get outta here, i want you to promise me you'll down to the gulf and swim deep in the see and you'll think of me." He basically tells her to go back to where it began and remember him and all that they used to do, even sing the "Mississippi" song they sang together.
