1. Where you can hear a country song song from far
And someone plays the honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
The people join the sun
And the wind takes it away.

Where the Mississippi falls down to the sea
And lovers found the place thhhey'd like to be
How many times before the song was ending
Love and understanding
Everywhere around.

[Chorus:]
Mississippi, I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be returning again.

Mississippi, you'll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this song
Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time.

2. Now the country song for ever lost it's soul
When the guitar player turned to rock & roll
And everytime when the summernights are falling
I will always be calling dreams of yesterday.
