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 dont have a price So i learned to play all my heroes songs And i finally got ariound 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 Chorus 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 dream 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 dont i can take it Just as long i have you with me I know im gonna be strong enough Cause ive got your mud in my blood You might also likeRepeat chorus You know i have four first loves That car,this guitar,and the girl that broke my heart,and you Repeat chorus My Mississippi My Mississippi
