(Northeastern Southwest Mississippi, I'm-)
Going to reach my destination
(Northeastern Southwest Mississippi, I'm-)
Going to reach my home
(Northeastern Southwest Mississippian)
I'll wave to your river as I'm flying over
(Northeastern Southwest Mississippian)
Never mind the times, never mind the times
And as a matter of fact, you're just the kind: alone and temperamental
So rewind the clock, the machine, and your one-wheel unicycle
(Yeah, I've travelled all across the globe
Extend your earlobe, 'cause its a cold day out there
And your stewardess will be by with your lunch tray)

Never mind the times, no I never mind the times
And as a matter of fact, you're underpaid for all that you can offer
So tell the boys that they can fight over your one-star uniform
(Yeah, they can take everything that they've worked for
And that you've worked for
And shove it right where the sun don't shine
Right where the sun don't shine, got it?)
