Nashville sky
in 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
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
Oh mississippi
running through my veins
oh mississippi
never the same again
