Nashville sky
In the morning sun
Somewhere up north
A new life begun
He was drawn to the twister
With a Memphis sound
Kissed by an angel
Of a music town
Oh-oh, Mississippi, yeah
Oh-oh, Mississippi, yeah
Jump a train from Chicago
Trace it back
With the neck of a bottle
And the groove of the tracks
Oh-oh, Mississippi
Well, you spend your life running
From that angel's sweet sound
Chasing the ghosts
Of a faraway town
Oh-oh, Mississippi
Oh, Mississippi
Running through my veins
Oh, Mississippi
Oh, Mississippi, yeah
Oh, Mississippi
Never the same again
Yeah
Mississippi, yeah
Oh-oh, Mississippi, yeah
Oh-oh, Mississippi
Never the same again
Never the same again
Mississippi
Oh, Mississippi
Oh, Mississippi
Mississippi
Oh, Mississippi, yeah
Oh, Mississippi, yeah
Mississippi
