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
