Broke Down in the Delta Lyrics by Strange Philosophies

Magnolia Mythology

2023

(In Tallahatchie County)
In Tallahatchie County
I found myself one day
Drove past a private prison
With enough barbed wire to shed a human like a snake skin
Covered the red, red dirt
It seems it's made out of blood
My car broke down on the road
I had to trudge through the mud
In the middle of nowhere
Bullet holes in each sign
The air was thicker than soup
And the sun beat down until I bent like a pine
I found an auto repair shop just a few miles from town
I walked in hesitantly and this is just what I found
Empty dip cans on the floor
Rifles and bucks on the wall
The man was talking on the phone in his office
Had a Confederate flag hat and some dirty overalls
I had a feeling he'd find out soon that I was from out of town
He had the accent of a man who was born here and then stuck around
I was scared as he saw me and approached with a frown
