Goes to show
It's not what you know
(But) who you know

So's, you know
I can go with the flow
Build my note

Then throw to snow
Before the show
Stay low

Play it on a Dobro
Oh, I tiptoe to and fro
From Ontario

My stereo's blue like the rodeo
Growing like a freak show free throw
It's just the intro

Keep dropping like dominoes

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four


Now rewind
What'd you have in mind?

Could we unwind?
I'm fine
We can find a streamline

Recombine intertwine
If I'm gonna headline
Tryin' to be moving all the behinds

Line to line
Try to shine
Redesigned redefined

Keeping up the spellbind
Gotta make it worth the grind
Just in time to have another close encounter of the third kind


One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four


I've been away for years and a day
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely
But I'm out here to stay

Wouldn't have it any other way

Oh flip, the light is turning orange

Coat ripped when I caught it in the door hinge
I slip when the lady in the four-inch
Bought it in a store in Germany

You wore it like a makeshift snowdrift
Had to get a gift
Saw the red shift rift

Gretta got an eyelift
Oh sure, that one's obscure
Maybe piss-poor, but I had to take a little detour


I've been away for years and a day
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely

But I'm out here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way


One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi

Four
