Chris Rea - Mississippi 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.

His young eyes closed to the beat of the dream
And the sound of an opening jail
Just a kid from a northern town
In a country so far away.

Oh Mississippi, running through my veins
Oh Mississippi, I was 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
(Oh Mississippi)
And spend your life running, that Angels sweet sound
Chasing the ghosts, of a faraway town.
(Oh Mississippi)

His young eyes closed to the beat of the dream
And the sound of an opening jail
Just a kid from a northern town
In a country so far away.

Oh Mississippi, running through my veins
Oh Mississippi, I was never the same
Never the same again.
