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 Oh faraway 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 the Mississippi It's a long long way to New Orleans And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town Oh faraway 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 love 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 And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town Oh faraway down to New Orleans Way way down To New Orleans Way way down To New Orleans Way down
