I love crossin' the Mississippi River she runs so wide and deep

The sun winks down between the spans at me

The tug boats sing down low beneath the pop of the pavement breaks

I enter an old west Memphis reverie, I can see me
E A E
Flyin' down I-40 as the camera pulls away

And the music swells with possibilities

Maybe I'm just hopin' as I wake up from my dreams

F# B
I went out to find myself underneath the western stars
A E A
I ain't goin' back to Nashville, all alone where no one cares

Now it's a long way home from anywhere
Steel mills pumpin smoke and money but that ain't the life for me
