Mississippi [from the King of the beach] lyrics

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

As your nights close to the beat of the dream-

And sound of a local DJ

Just a kid from a northern town

In a country, so far away

Oh Mississippi, running through my veins

Oh Mississippi, 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

Spend your life running, that Angels sweet sound

Chasing the ghosts, of a faraway town

Oh Mississippi

And as your nights close to the beat of the dream-

And sound of a local DJ

Just a kid from a northern town

In a country, country, so far away

Oh Mississippi, running through my veins

Oh Mississippi, never the same, never the same again.
