Down in Mississippi (Up To No Good)
Written by - Kristin Hall, Kristian Bush & Jennifer Nettles
From - Twice the Speed of Life
Friday, payday
Lordy, gotta get away
Had it with the wife thing
Living on a shoe string
What's a poor girl got to do
Just to have some fun?
Well, all these years without any help
Guess what, honey
Clothes don't just wash themselves
Neither do dishes
Neither does the bathroom floor
So now if anyone asks
Not that they would
I'll be down in Mssissippi an' up to no good

No more, what a bore
Had enough, I'm out the door
Headed for a breakdown
Had it with the small town
Gonna call Lisa
Gonna call Carla Sue
Well, now, we're gonna let it roll
Gonna let it rip
Gonna get us a nice room down on the strip
Not that we'll need it
There won't be any sleepin' tonight
So, now if anyone asks
Not that they would
We'll be down in Mississippi an' up to no good

Well, hammer down, here we go
Runnin' for the river boat
All you're gonna see is asses and elbows
Luck's about to change for these three queens
Tired of gettin' jokers
Deal us up kings

Well, hammer down, here we go
Runnin' for the river boat
All you're gonna see is asses and elbows
Luck's about to change for these three queens
Tired of gettin' jokers
Deal us up kings

Snake eyes, roll the dice
Double down and hit me twice
Cash in the big chips
Gonna leave a big tip
Hotter than a two dollar pistol, baby
I'm on fire
So, if anyone asks
Not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good

So, now, if anyone asks
Not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
Yeah, yeah
