Mississippi Moonshine
Saving Abel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been watching you,
And your intentions to
Get me out on the floor

Undress me with your eyes
To see a sweet surprise
I know I've been here before
You think I'm runnin' across the room
Just to be by your side
You gotta another thing comin'
Cause I'm not runnin'
Just to wait and stand
Next in line

Let me introduce you ya to miss
Miss almost made it, miss understood
Miss always jaded, miss up to no good
Miss never gonna make it, miss don't know how to take it
You ain't my made in Mississippi, moonshine kinda whiskey

What are you gonna do?
Miss can't get you know who
When you end up on your own

Undress me with your eyes
It ain't no big surprise
Last call, you're drinkin' alone

You think I'm running across the room
Just to be by your side
You gotta another thing comin'
Cause I'm not runnin'
Just to wait and stand
Next in line

Let me introduce you ya to miss
Miss almost made it, miss understood
Miss always jaded, miss up to no good
Miss never gonna make it, miss don't know how to take it
You ain't my made in Mississippi, moonshine kinda whiskey

You think you've got it so good
Little miss leaving, little miss would if you could
Oh just another little miss wannabe
If you don't know her

Let me introduce you ya to miss
Miss almost made it, miss understood
Miss always jaded, miss up to no good




Miss never gonna make it, miss don't know how to take it
You ain't my made in Mississippi, moonshine kinda whiskey

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Saving Abel's song "Mississippi Moonshine" paint a picture of a woman trying to entice the singer to dance with her while he watches her every move. She makes assumptions that he wants to be with her, but the singer clarifies that he is not willing to play her game. The chorus reveals that the woman is a familiar type - a misunderstood and misguided soul who has been overlooked in life. The singer also flatly rejects her, saying that he's not interested in that type of woman.


The lyrics are full of imagery and creative wordplay, painting a vivid picture of the singer's experience. The use of the phrase "Undress me with your eyes" is a powerful way to describe the woman's attempts to lure him in. Additionally, the line "Mississippi, moonshine kinda whiskey" is a clever play on words, using the word "moonshine" in a cultural sense rather than a literal one.


Overall, the lyrics to "Mississippi Moonshine" convey a strong message of rejecting stereotypes and refusing to be manipulated. The singer doesn't buy into the woman's charms, no matter how tempting they may seem.
