Bay Springs Road

Phone rings
It’s an old friend
And we ain’t talked since I don’t know when
He said, «Tell me how have you been.»
I swore you’d let me go It’s good to hear your voice
I know the last time we spoke
I said some things
He said, «Their ain’t another crazy mother
I could love like you.»
And it makes me feel like I’m eighteen again
In my car with my friends
Singing, «the grass is green, the girls are pretty»
The kids are alright in Mississippi
Yeah
Roll down to my hometown
To the corners I once grew
I remember when
Summer skin, barefoot, and lemonade
Tell me how have you been
She said, «Their ain’t another crazy lover
I could love like you.»
And it makes me feel like I’m eighteen again
In my car with my friends
Singing, «the grass is green, the girls are pretty»
The kids are alright in Mississippi
Yeah
And it comes on me like a photograph
And kicks me in my head
Backseat window
Turn to laugh
Magnolia in my hair
She said, «Their ain’t another crazy lover
I could love like you.»
And it makes me feel like I’m eighteen again
In my car with my friends
Singing, «the grass is green the girls are pretty»
The kids are alright in Mississippi
Yeah
