my Mississippi

(Jeff Bates/Kenny Beard/Dave Loggins)
I traded a '57
Chevy for my first guitar
And Daddy said
I was crazy 'cause that was a helluva car
When I played 'Love Me Tender' on that
Fender And the music came pourin' out of my hands and heart
He knew it was worth it and so did
I 'Cause sometimes, some things don't have a price
So, I learned to play all my heroes' songs
And I finally got around to writin' a few of my own
The songs got better,
I put a band together
And we played our first gig at a little club in
McComb When
I walked on stage and opened my mouth
I started to sing and you came pouring out
Ooh, ooh Mississippi
You know how hard it was for me to leave
Ooh, ooh Mississippi
I miss you
I hope you miss me
My Mississippi
So, I packed my
Delta dreams and came to
Music City
Brought a whole lot of me, a little
Presley and some
Twitty I came here to make it but if
I don't I can take it
Just as long as
I have you with me
I know I'm gonna be strong enough '
Cause I've got your mud in my blood
Ooh, ooh Mississippi
You know how hard it was for me to leave
Ooh, ooh Mississippi
I miss you
I hope you miss me
My Mississippi
You know I have four first loves
That car , this guitar and the girl that broke my heart
And you...
Mississippi
You know how hard it was for me to leave
Ooh, ooh Mississippi
I miss you
I hope you miss me (My Mississippi)
My Mississippi
My Mississippi (My Mississippi)
