"Mississippi, It's Time" Come on, Mississippi Mississippi, don't you reckon it's time That the flag came down, cause the world turned round And we can't move ahead if we're lookin' behind Wanna know if you're with me, cause I come from a long long line Of a rebel strain but the wind has changed Mississippi, don't you reckon it's time Look away, Mississippi Mississippi, you're on my mind All the crosses burned and the lessons unlearned Left a scar across my heart and it's ten miles wide Sick of sloggin' through the history of this wounded land of mine Still payin' the cost cause the war was lost Mississippi, don't you reckon it's time I wish I was in a land that never held a soul in bondage ever Wouldn't have to drag these chains behind Mississippi, it's time What the hell, Mississippi Mississippi, you're out of your mind Mississippi goddamned, even Alabam' South Carolina came across the line Dixieland will never miss me but I whistle that tune sometimes And I'll sing it loud when the flag comes down Mississippi, don't you reckon it's time Look away Look away Look away Dixieland
