State Song

By Melissa August, Val Castronovo, Matthew Cooper, Daniel Levy, Ellin Martens, Michele Orecklin, Julie Rawe, Owen Thomas and Josh Tyrangiel

BE PROUD To update Mississippi's image, state senator Alan Nunnelee has proposed scrapping the state song, Go, Mississippi, and replacing it with Mississippi Song by Jim Weatherly. Some of the lyrics old and new:

GO, MISSISSIPPI

Mississippi, you cannot go wrong... Mississippi, you'll never look back... Mississippi is leading the show... You're on the right track...

MISSISSIPPI SONG

Forget when you were wrong... Lookin' back to yesterday... She's still the last in line... Lord, she's still misunderstood...
