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 a far 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 'n' roll

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 a far way down
To New Orleans

I've learned to play my daddy's kind of music
Developed in my individual style
Soon he's gonna hear me play
The songs he loves so well
Real old fashioned country rock 'n' roll

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 a far way down
To New Orleans

Way, way down
To New Orleans
Way, way down
To New Orleans
