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
