Nashville sky and a 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
His young eyes close to the beat of a dream
And the sound of a local DJ just a kid from a Northern town
In a country far away
Oh Mississippi running through my veins
Oh Mississippi never the same again
Jump a train from Chicago trace it back
With the neck of a bottle and the groove of the tracks
Spend your life running that angels sweet sound
Chasing the ghosts of a faraway town
His young eyes close to the beat of a dream
And the sound of a local DJ just a kid from a Northern town
In a country far away
Oh Mississippi running through my veins
Oh Mississippi never the same again
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
His young eyes close to the beat of a dream
And the sound of a local DJ just a kid from a Northern town
In a country far away
Oh Mississippi running through my veins
Oh Mississippi never the same again
Jump a train from Chicago trace it back
With the neck of a bottle and the groove of the tracks
Spend your life running that angels sweet sound
Chasing the ghosts of a faraway town
His young eyes close to the beat of a dream
And the sound of a local DJ just a kid from a Northern town
In a country far away
Oh Mississippi running through my veins
Oh Mississippi never the same again
