The lyrics of the song describe the woman’s southern charm and the man’s ruggedness, and how they compliment each other despite their differences. The chorus of the song goes:
“Louisiana woman, Mississippi man We get together every time we can And Mississippi River can’t keep us apart There’s too much love in this Mississippi heart”
