My Mississippi Lyrics - Singles - Jeff Bates

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 

'Ccause 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, yeah 

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) 

My Mississippi
