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.
His young eyes closed to the beat of the dream And the sound of an opening jail Just a kid from a northern town In a country so far away.
Oh Mississippi, running through my veins Oh Mississippi, I was never the same Never the same again.
Jump a train from Chicago, trace it back With the neck of a bottle, and the groove of the tracks (Oh Mississippi) And spend your life running, that Angels sweet sound Chasing the ghosts, of a faraway town. (Oh Mississippi)
His young eyes closed to the beat of the dream And the sound of an opening jail Just a kid from a northern town In a country so far away.
Oh Mississippi, running through my veins Oh Mississippi, I was never the same Never the same again. x2
