One Mississippi

Kane Brown

You and I had this off and on so long

You’ve been here, then you’ve been gone

So many times

And every night, yeah I’m always bumping into you

Well, you do the same things we used to

It’s your place or it’s mine, so

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

We’ll lie and swear we’re through

With the lonely, drunken deja vu

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Five minutes out of downtown

Ain’t nothing but a countdown

One Mississippi, two Mississippi

Three shots of whiskey

Are you on your way?

We’re tipsy, baby, come kiss me

I can’t wait, I can’t wait

One Mississippi, two Mississippi

Three in the mornin’

We’ll be on our way

So tipsy, can’t stop kissin’

I can’t wait, I can’t wait

Forever

Every time I’m at this bar

Tap on the shoulder, turn around

And baby, there you are

And it’s fire

Yeah, like this bourbon hundred-proof

Yeah, they don’t burn the way you do

Yeah, we’re better in the dark, so

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

We’ll lie and swear we’re through

With the lonely, drunken deja vu

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Five minutes out of downtown

Ain’t nothing but a countdown

One Mississippi, two Mississippi

Three shots of whiskey

Are you on your way?

We’re tipsy, baby, come kiss me

I can’t wait, I can’t wait

One Mississippi, two Mississippi

Three in the mornin’

We’ll be on our way

So tipsy, can’t stop kissin’

I can’t wait, I can’t wait

Forever

Kinda like that Georgia wind

We’ll be gone and back again

But always wind up right back where we are

Playing roulette with our hearts

And blowing smoke rings in the dark, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

...

Every time I’m at this bar

Tap on the shoulder, turn around

And baby, there you are

Background

“One Mississippi” chronicles the ups and downs of an on again/off again relationship and sets it to an irresistible melody that taps into a spaghetti western like dusty feel smashed into a modern pop country up-tempo groove that gets you moving along with it.
