Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
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 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 Now the country song for ever lost its soul When the guitar player turned to rock & roll And everytime when the summernights are falling I will always be calling dreams of yesterday
