Lyrics

Two miles south of Tupelo
I saw a broken down Ford by the side of the road
Black smoke pouring from underneath an open hood
This cute brunette ran out and flagged me down
Said, "I was heading to a wedding but it''s too late now"
I said, "Never say never, but babe you better buckle up good"

She had a smile as wide as the Mississippi
And her eyes were as soulful as the Delta Blues
We mighta been going a little too fast
But once you get started, there''s no turning back
So don''t blink, ''cause you never know
What you''ll find by the side of the road
Two miles south of Tupelo

We were blurring all the lines on Highway 78
Making good time in so many ways
Got to laughing so hard, we must''ve missed a turn or two
We finally made it to the church and all we found
Was rose petals and rice scattered on the ground
I thought she''d be mad, but she said I''d rather be with you

Oh she had a smile as wide as the Mississippi
And her eyes were as soulful as the Delta Blues
We might''ve been going a little too fast
But once you get started, there''s no turning back
So don''t blink, ''cause you never know
What you''ll find by the side of the road
Two miles south of Tupelo

Well, she finally made it to a wedding on time
She sure looked pretty walking down that aisle

Yeah, she had a smile as wide as the Mississippi
And her eyes were as soulful as the Delta Blues
We might''ve been going a little too fast
But once you get started, there''s no turning back
Friends and family filling every row
of a church made of stucco and stone
Two miles south of Tupelo
Oh, two miles south of Tupelo
