paroles de chanson Born In Mississippi - Chris LeDoux

I was born in Mississippi on the Gulf of Mexico
And I could hear the 'gators roar at night out on the old bayou
I remember Spanish moss hangin' from the cypress trees
And the smell of honeysuckle 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
And I rode my buckskin pony where the old Red River flows
And my Texas pride still makes me cry when I remember the Alamo

Oh, thank you Texas for lovin' me
Thank you for givin' this country boy a place to dream
Thank you for the country roads, the horny toads, the chile and pinto beans
Thank you Texas for lovin' me

Now I live up in Wyoming
And I love home out on the range
But every now and then my mind goes roamin'
Down those country roads through my boyhood days
And after all these years, I'd just like to say

Thank you America for lovin' me
Thank you for givin' this country boy a place to dream
Thank you for the country roads, the folks I've known from sea to shinning sea
Thank you America
Oh, thank you America
Thank you mom and dad for lovin' me
