Woke up this mornin
Headin down Highway 22
Woke up this mornin
Headin down Highway 22
Old home Mississippi, never nothin new

You know I love you, baby
Why you got to be unkind
Yeah I love you baby
Hurts me when you be unkind
Goin down that highway about to lose my mind

You told me go away baby
I got somethin else to do
I said don't kid me baby
You know you love me true
You said no I got to go
