Girl from Mississippi
Muscadine Bloodline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Empty bottles, Copenhagen cans, and pumpkin seeds
Highway lines and stars at night as far as you can see
Every stop we′re switching off so we don't fall asleep
Oh we start talking ′bout the things we're missing
Oh yeah we can both agree
Good friends and family
Sometimes it′s chasing country songs
Up there in Tennessee
Sometimes it′s a mix of everything
But it's mostly just a girl from Mississippi
There′s a feeling that you can't explain
Your name on a marquee sign
The looks on all their faces when the song is hittin′ just right
Every night at closing time there's something on our mind
And sometimes it′s Alabama
Good friends and family
Sometimes it's chasing country songs
Up there in Tennessee
Sometimes it's a mix of everything
But it′s mostly just a girl from Mississippi
Oh livin′ out the words we're singing
Oh yeah it don′t change a thing
Sometimes it's Alabama
Good friends and family
Sometimes it′s chasing country songs
Up there in Tennessee
Sometimes it's a mix of everything
But it′s mostly just a girl from Mississippi
The song "Girl from Mississippi" by Muscadine Bloodline captures the essence of the journey of a country music band from Texas, their aspirations, and the things that matter most to them. The opening lines describe the band's journey through Texas, traveling west of Abilene with empty bottles, Copenhagen cans, and pumpkin seeds. The artists enjoy the scenery, taking in the highway lines, and the stars at night that stretch as far as the eye can see. To avoid falling asleep on the way, they switch off every time they stop.
As they journey through the countryside, the artists talk about their aspirations and the things that matter most in their lives. They mention Alabama, family, and friends, chasing country songs in Tennessee, and everything that makes their journey complete. However, at the core of it all is a girl from Mississippi, who is everything that they need and are living out the words they sing.
The song highlights the simplicity and humility of the journey of a country music band. It showcases the importance of passion, friendship, and a sense of belonging that artists crave. Through their journey, they find happiness in the little things and realize that sometimes, it's not about the destination but the journey itself.
