Jeff Bates - My Mississippi Lyrics
i traded a '57 Chevyfor my first guitarand daddy said i was crazycause that was a helluva carwhen i played "Love me Tender" on that fenderand the music came pourin' out of my hands and hearthe knew it was worth it and so did icause sometimes some things dont have a priceso i learned to play all my heroes' songsand i finally got ariound to writin' a few of my ownthe songs got better i put a band togetherand we played our first gig at a little club in McCombwhen i walked on stage and opened my mouthi started to sing and you came pouring outChorusOoh ooh Mississippiyou know how hard it was for me to leaveooh,ooh Mississippii miss you i hope you miss meMy Mississippiso i packed my delta dreamand came to music citybrought a whole lot of me a little Presley and some Twittyi came hereto make itbut if i dont i can take itjust as long i have you with mei know im gonna be strong enoughcause i've got your mud in my bloodrepeat chorusyou know i have four first lovesthat car,this guitar,and the girl that broke my heart,and yourepeat chorusMy MississippiMy Mississippi
