Tom Petty Up In Mississippi Tonight Lyrics

Sally's up in Mississippi tonight
With a man she hardly knows
Sally's wearin' brand new clothes

Opportunity don't knock twice
So Sally said, "Bye, bye"
I hope she is alright
Up in Mississippi tonight

Sally left before the sun could rise
When the city man came to town
She turned his head around
It was love with just one look

When she saw
The size of his pocketbook
Oh, Sally's doin' fine
She's up in Mississippi tonight

But there's a mountain boy who's gonna remember you And Sally you're one old girl he hates to lose
But you did what you had to do
You know I'm happy for you
But sometimes please think of me up there in Biloxi

Sally's up
In Mississippi tonight
Stayin' in a big hotel
Rich man payin' the bill

Drivin' a brand new car
Drinkin' in fancy bars
Oh, Sally's havin' a time
She's up in Mississippi tonight

Sally's up in Mississippi tonight
Sally's up in Mississippi tonight
