ZZ Top - My Head's In Mississippi Lyrics






I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand,
but my head's in Mississippi.
I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand,
but my head's in Mississippi.
The blues has got a hold of me.
I believe I'm gettin' dizzy.
[Spoken:] Help me now.

I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
Lord, I thought I was in Heaven.
I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
I thought I was in Heaven.
But I was stumblin' thru the parking lot
of an invisible seven eleven.
[Spoken:] What was I doin out there?

Where's my head baby?
Somewhere in Mississippi.

Last night I saw a cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
And last night I saw a naked cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
She was mumblin to some howlin' wolf
about some voodoo healin'.
[Spoken:] Mmm Baby.

  3. W.... N....

    You guys do realize this is more of a blues song than rock?

  5. W.... N....

    You guys need to Google Howlin Wolf. Report back on your findings

    One of ZZ's best tunes. Stumblin' through that parkin' lot of some
    invisible 7-11. What was I doin' out there? That naked cowgirl shufflin'
    to some hollywood ' bout some voodoo healin? It's all true and then some.
    Put my head back in Mississippi where it belongs. That night in Memphis
    is etched upon my mind. See that blood out there in Hollywood?
    Some of it might be mine.

  10. L.... S....

    Billy Gibbons...to think he actually both played and sung this song. Mind blowing, and mind you all of zz top songs are over dubbed, but Billy at the helm nonetheless!!!👍👍👍🤯

  11. L.... S....

    This is epic music for all the youngsters that don't know what real music is. This is as good as gets!!!

  12. L.... S....

    When i heard this song my ears perked up like a dog. Definitely one of the best ZZ TOP songs ever!!!!

  13. M.... B....

    11/2019...841 people are stumblin' through the parking lot of an invisible 7-11... \m/-_-\m/

  14. J.... K....

    I'm so onto this zz tune and this new (to me anyway) vid's the
    bees knees and the cat's meow. Stumblin' right back through that
    parking lot of the invisible 7-11. This why Texas is any good. Straight
    outta Houston and Dallas. Head's so back in Mississippi.
    Got to help me out 'round here, what was I doin' out there?
    That night in Memphis? Naked cowgirl? Floatin' 'cross the ceiling.
    Shufflin' to some Hollywood 'bout some voodoo healin'.
    Out here this is still the fundamental track.

  15. M.... C....

    When we talk about the best..
    ZZ at the top of the list.
    ♥ZZ TOP♥

  16. L.... S....

    This song is BOSS!!! When i first heard it i must've played it 20 times back to back and at full volume at least to the point my speakers wouldn't blow.😂😂👏👏😋😋😋👌🤘

  32. L.... F....

    It's funny watching this now when he says 7/11 . I lived in Aleif outside of Houston near Sugarland. And the last if BELAIRE blvd in our neighborhood was a stop n go CONVENIENT store. And the base player used to stop at that store after visiting the drummer who had a house built back there.

  33. L.... C....

  50. J.... M....

  51. W.... C....

    This song tells an odd, little story; doesn't it? Sorta like how I envision coming down from an LSD trip while shacked up in a really sleazy West Texas motel with a red-hot Mexican teenage cowgirl whore and without money to buy a bottle of cure-all to be like. Oh, wait; I already know what that's like.

  86. J.... K....

    ZZ Top is profane and always have been. They know how to work it like schoolboys would.
    Recruiting troops to stumble through parking lots of invisible 7-11s is normally what to do when
    you get to west hollywood. That and pick up some cheap sunglasses. Proceeded to shred hob weho
    for me right in person. I simply cannot forget about that night in Memphis. But seriously that was at
    the base of Hollywood hills in case you forgot. Bumblin' to some Hollywood 'bout some vood healin'.
    Sure, where's my head at? Shufflin' right back through all that red texas sand.

    Sure ZZ Top is bad. I can't even think of a badder band. And, get this, they're nationwide!
    Exactly which nation is that they don't disclaim but they love that confederate flag.

    Oh, what was I doin' out there? It's new garage punk out at cafe nela in northeast la
    Thursday January 10 8:30 $5 Exploding Pintos 10pm.

    The Confederate flag looks better to me than the stars and bars. It's just a simply much better looking
    layout. Y'all know how it looks, like a chopped down souped up union jack.

    Whatever your taste in flag layouts ZZ Top nearly always comes to my town and shreds like a carbon tipped
    buzz saw blade at nearly 5000rpm.

    >Ah yes, back in a day when the site of a Confederate flag didn't instill insanity from weak, phony, manufactured offended phuqtards

  87. D.... W....

    Perfect song

  88. J.... ....

    Sorry kids of todaj !!!!!!!this is musik This is soooooooooooo. Gooooooooooooooood

  89. M.... D....

    Merry Christmas lol Marilee shared worldwide

  90. j.... ....

    Great tune, with the Confederate flag prominently displayed.

    j.... ....

    I wish someone would tell southerners that they aren’t even flying the confederate flag.

    But then again, I kinda don’t, because I kind of enjoy teaching them something.

    j.... ....

    SHOULD BE A BOOMER SOONER FLAG....!

  91. M.... N....

    Released on Jan 11th 2007

  92. J.... F....

    My favorite ZZ Top tune

  93. M.... F....

    ZZ TOP kicks butt. love their style

  94. j.... w....

    Brilliant tune 😊✌

  95. J.... K....

    Here in Southern California we usually play this and most 7-11s are invisible.
    Where's that parkin' lot? Do it all the time like this around here. Cheap sunglasses.
    Just because I don't go to Billy Gibbons show doesn't mean I don't love his stuff.
    I'm still down and this is hollywood.

  96. L.... W....

    Crounding grunge Cant get enough!!!!

  97. H.... K....

    I'm shuffling' through the Texas sand, but my vote's in Mississippi....

  98. J.... K....

    This is from when Texas used to be any good and Ann Richards was guv'nor.
    I'm still stuck in LA still stumblin' through the parking lot of our local 7-11.
    Back when young kids still had some hope for modern America.
    Nature girl is still alive and well in Hollywood. Texas is the Lone Star State
    and just because I never set foot in there doesn't mean I don't love the place.
    I listen to this all the time like a monkey loves to throw poop.
    Boppin' 'bout some Hollywood Voodoo healin'. If my head wasn't attached to my
    shoulders I'dve probably lost it by now on the streets of Los Angeles.
    What was I doin' out there anyway?

  99. D.... P....

    Hard to believe that this is 28 years old. Holy Jesus
