lyrics

(Written by Jason Kelly Richards & J. Shields)

Well it’s ninety in the shade and it’s not even noon
I should be sweatin’ like a shotgun groom
But this beauty from the bayou chills me to the bone
Made me fall in love with her then left me all alone

I never needed whiskey
To stay warm in Dixie
But I’m shakin’ like Elvis
In a rock n’ roll show
It’s gettin’ mighty nippy
Here in Mississippi
Feels like it’s two below…in Tupelo

Her body may be smokin’ but her heart’s a deep freeze
If you get too close feel a drop in degrees
You can try your luck, but I’ll give you some advice
Doubt a silver-tongued devil could even melt her ice

I never needed whiskey
To stay warm in Dixie
But I’m shakin’ like Elvis
In a rock n’ roll show
It’s gettin’ mighty nippy
Here in Mississippi
Feels like it’s two below…in Tupelo – go, go, go, go

Guitar Solo

I did my best to please her, but there’s one thing I know
She ain’t ever gonna love me, so I guess I’ll hit the road
Maybe South Dakota, knee deep in the snow
Be warmer there without her than here in Tupelo

I never needed whiskey
To stay warm in Dixie
But I’m shakin’ like Elvis
In a rock n’ roll show
It’s gettin’ mighty nippy
Here in Mississippi
Feels like it’s two below…in Tupelo

Better just leave her alone man…two below in Tupelo
