[Bridge] Ooh ooh ooh oh oh. [Verse 1] We live in a southern city, We drink that ice and bourbon whiskey. And you got time on your hands, I’d advise you change your route-less plans. [Verse 2] And the vast Mississippi, Oh makes me dream of Tennessee. And if you’re tired of champagne, We’ll meet you there by the Dixie train. [Bridge 2] Ooh ooh, Ooh oh oh. [Verse 3] From the Cumberland valley, Just up from Nashville, Music City. Took The Gulch to The Station, Away from downtown temptation. [Verse 4] Waking up with a sour head, Got to eat up your grits n’ corn bread. Well that’s what our new friend said,
Under the iron bridge by the railroad bed. [Bridge] Ooh ooh ooh oh oh. No Pontiac no Chevrolet, It’s a shotgun loco all the way. To New Orleans via Pontchartrain, Memphis we’ll see you again. [Verse 5] Tall buildings rising up high, Reminds me of a time that’s gone by. Good ole boys on the TV screen, With their boot-cut jeans and Robert E. Lee. [Bridge 3] Ooh ooh ooh oh oh. Ahh ahh ahh ah oh. [Verse 6] Back in the big country city, Where the broad avenue takes me. Up to the blurred neon signs, Roach stompers come in three of a kind. [Bridge 4] Ooh ooh ooh ooh.
