Down the Mississippi

it's a long long way down the mississippi

it's a long long way to new orleans

and my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town

old four way down way down to new orleans

daddy never taught me any music

denied me of my chance to play guitar

so i went north to find a band

that learned his style of music

real old fashioned country rock and roll

it's a long long way down to mississippi

it's a long long way to new orleans

new orleans

and my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town

or far way down way down to new orleans

i've learned to play my daddy's kind of music

developing my individual style

and soon he's gonna hear me

play the songs he loves so well

real old fashioned country rock and roll

it's a long long way down the mississippi

it's a long long way to new orleans

new orleans

and my daddy plays a mean guitar to some broken town

on far way down way down to new orleans

way way down way down to new orleans

way way down way down to new orleans

way down
