[Verse 1]
 E                     A
Mississippi phone booth
                       E
In the middle of the night
E                  A
Bugs flyin’ everywhere
                          E
Crazy in the gas station light


      B
Heart pounding through my t-shirt
          C#m      B         A  A7sus4
Pumping change in a call to you
 E                     A
Mississippi phone booth
                           E
Operator could you get me through

[Verse 2]
 E                  A
Flat black 84 Camaro
                     E
Run it up from New Orleans
 E                      A
Everything south of I-10
                         E
I just blew it all to smithereens

     B
I’m somewhere close to Jackson
       C#m      B         A  A7sus4
I need Memphis on the line
 E                     A
Mississippi phone booth
                       E
Tell Jesus I’m outta dimes

[Verse 3]
 E                                A
Quart-of-vodka eight-ball cocaine
                        E
Not enough to change my mind
 E                     A
Mississippi phone booth
                                E
Please don’t hang up on me this time
 E                     A
Mississippi phone booth
                                E
Please don’t hang up on me this time
 E                     A
Callin' from a Mississippi phone booth
                                E
Please don’t hang up on me this time
