Mississippi

I was born in Memphis on the wrong side of town
 Way back up in the projects
 We didn't have much bet there was music all around
 That was something we could respect
 Memphis got the rythm Memphis got the soul
 And you know that's a good sign
 It's the home of Elvis, he's the king of rock & roll
 And everybody had a good time
 Willie's on the corner with his dancing shoes
 Perry's in the alley cooking barbeque
 BB's down on Beale Street and he's singing the blues
 Everybody is alright
 Ain't nobody uptight
 Dancing in the moonlight
 Muddy Mississippi roll on
 Old man river keeps on playing his song
 It'll get your fingers snapping
 The first thing you know you're kinda grooving along
 And your feet will start to tapping
 Have you ever been to Memphis on a Saturday night
 When everything is cooking
 The whole town's rocking the music is hot and the girls are all good looking
 The mighty Mississippi is muddy and wide
 But there's people driving over from the Arkansas side
 Get on out amongst us and we'll go for a ride
 Hanging on the sidewalk
 Talking all that jive talk
 Nothing but a nighthawk
 Muddy Mississippi roll on
