You grew up under that big open sky, Boots on a dance floor and your daddy's old pride. We met in the middle where the river runs wide, Two different roads and one porch light at night. You taught me the two-step, I taught you the hymns, Biscuits at sunrise, brisket on Sundays. We swapped our best stories on a tailgate at dusk, Tennessee honey and Texas-sized trust. Now the highway's got a question, and the river's got a call, I'm halfway through the bridge and I can see it all. One Mississippi, I think of the hills I know, Two Mississippi, I think of the plains below, Three Mississippi, and I'm done counting the cost, 'Cause I carry both homes and I never got lost. I'll love Tennessee, I'll love Texas too, Got the best of both states, and I'm bringing 'em through. One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three, I'm not choosing a state, I'm choosing me. Somebody's waiting where the Lone Star shines, Somebody's waiting where the Smokies climb. But the one I've been waiting on's behind this wheel, With a Hank song humming and a heart that can heal. It's a long road to Memphis, and a long way to the Gulf, But a woman can be wide as the whole of the South. You can keep your good-byes, I'll keep the view, Counting off the seconds till the sunrise comes through. One Mississippi, a hand on the wheel, Two Mississippi, I know how I feel, Three Mississippi, and I'm free as the breeze, Got Tennessee in my bones and the whole wide world at my knees. I'll love Tennessee, I'll love Texas too, Got the best of both states, and I'm bringing 'em through. One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three, I'm not choosing a state, I'm choosing me. One Mississippi... two Mississippi... three. 🎸 ABOUT THE SONG Neo-traditional country with pedal steel, acoustic guitar, upright bass and a warm, storytelling vocal, written about carrying the best of both places you love. 🤖 DISCLOSURE This song and its visuals were created with the help of AI tools.
