Way, way up high in your heart you want to stay
But deep, deep down in your soul
You know you should run
This little town has always been like a broken cage
You can walk away, but no one ever does
'Cause it's hard to let go of those days
When your love was hotter than the Mississippi sun

Oh, that big old ball of fire in the sky
Melts your mind
And makes you do things
You never would have done
It takes you under its spell
And you can't tell right from wrong
There's only one thing in this whole wide world
Hotter than the Mississippi sun

Somewhere along the line
Something fell out of place
All those hopes and dreams
They're just lost and gone
This little town holds you down
And you can't really walk away
They say you can leave
But no one's that strong
'Cause it's hard to let go of those days
When your love was hotter than the Mississippi sun

Oh, that big old ball of fire in the sky
Melts your mind
And makes you do things
You never would've done
It takes you under its spell
And you can't tell right from wrong
There's only one thing in this whole wide world
Hotter than the Mississippi sun
