Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mississippi phone booth

In the middle of the night

Bugs flying everywhere

Crazy in the gas station light

[Verse 2]

Heart pounding through my t-shirt

Pumping change in a call to you

Mississippi phone booth

Operator, would you put me through?

[Verse 3]

Flat black '84 Camaro

Run it up from New Orleans

Everything south of I-10

I just blew it all to smithereens

[Verse 4]

Now I'm somewhere close to Jackson

I need Memphis on the line

Mississippi phone booth

Tell Jesus I'm outta dimes

[Verse 5]

Quart of vodka, eight ball cocaine

Not enough to change my mind

Mississippi phone booth

Please don't hang up on me this time

[Verse 6]

Mississippi phone booth

Please don't hang up on me this time

Calling from a Mississippi phone booth

Please don't hang up on me this time

Mississippi phone booth
