Born In Mississippi

歌曲歌詞

I was born in Mississippi on the Gulf of Mexico

And I could hear the gators a roar at night

Out on the old bayou

I remember spanish moss a hangin'

From the cypress trees

And the smell of honey suckle

On the Mississippi breeze

Thank you Mississippi for lovin' me

Thank you for givin' this country boy a place to dream

Thank you for old cane pole the fishin' hole

The grits and black eyed peas

Thank you Missippi for lovin' me

Then my family moved down

To Texas when I was 12 years old

I took my first chew of plug tobacco

And got hooked on rodeo

I rode my buckskin pony where

The old red river flows

And my Texas pride still makes me cry

When I remember the alamo

All thank you Texas

For loving me

Thank you for givin' this country boy a place to dream

Thank you for the country road the horny toads

The chile and pinto beans thank you Texas

For lovin' me

Now I live up in Wyoming

I love my home out on the range

But every now and then my mind goes roamin'

Down those country roads through my boy hood days

And after all these years I'd just like to say
