Jeff Bates - My Mississippi [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I traded a '57 Chevy
For my first guitar
And daddy said i was crazy
Cause that was a helluva car
When i played "Love me Tender" on that fender
And the music came pourin' out of my hands and heart
He knew it was worth it and so did i
Cause sometimes some things dont have a price

So i learned to play all my heroes' songs
And i finally got ariound to writin' a few of my own
The songs got better i put a band together
And we played our first gig at a little club in McComb
When i walked on stage and opened my mouth
I started to sing and you came pouring out

Chorus
Ooh ooh Mississippi
You know how hard it was for me to leave
Ooh,ooh Mississippi
I miss you i hope you miss me
My Mississippi

So i packed my delta dream
And came to music city
Brought a whole lot of me a little Presley and some Twitty
I came here to make it
But if i dont i can take it
Just as long i have you with me
I know im gonna be strong enough
Cause i've got your mud in my blood

Repeat chorus

You know i have four first loves
That car,this guitar,and the girl that broke my heart,and you

Repeat chorus

My Mississippi
My Mississippi
