Here we go again on this telephone line
 Everytime we talk I always end up crying
 You're always telling me about what I'm missing
 But if I come back there I'd only end up wishing
 Momma I can come home, but I can't stay long
 Gotta make a little money trying to sing my songs
 My heart's still there even though I'm gone
 I put my roots deep in the ground
 Of that tiny town
 I can remember all the things you've said
 I hear your sweet voice talking in my head
 I'm a Mississippi girl, no I won't forget it
 But if I don't stay here I know I'm gonna regret it
 Momma I can come home, but I can't stay long
 Gotta make a little money trying to sing my songs
 My heart's still there even though I'm gone
 I put my roots deep in the ground
 Of that tiny town
 I feel your arms around me like it's yesterday
 I'm still Daddy's little girl, and that won't go away
 You know that I'm a dreamer and I've gotta do this
 Gotta do this, but know that I wish
 That I could come home, I just can't stay long
 Gotta make a little money trying to sing my song
 My heart's still there even though I'm gone
 I put my roots deep in the ground
 Of that tiny town
 Of that tiny town
 Of that tiny town
