Well, I knew I was in a room with kind of a nut When he pulled out pack of used cigarette butts So thats when I told him, We use you today So I handed the boy a and I sent him on his way
Well, the boss got back and we had a laugh I told him bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash And pretty soon I had the story circlin' this Mississippi nut that we had in our town
