Up in Mississippi Tonight Lyrics

by Tom Petty

Sallys up in mississippi tonight

With a man she hardly knows

Sallys wearin brand new clothes

Opportunity dont 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 sallys doin fine

Shes up in mississippi tonight



But theres a mountain boy whos gonna remember you

And sally youre one old girl he hates to lose

But you did what you had to do

You know Im happy for you

But sometimes please think of me up there in biloxi



Sallys up in mississippi tonight

Stayin in a big hotel

Rich man payin the bill

Drivin a brand new car

Drinkin in fancy bars

Oh sallys havin a time

Shes up in mississippi tonight



Sallys up in mississippi tonight

Sallys up in mississippi tonight

Sallys up in mississippi tonight
