[Verse 1]
Bbm
Goes to show
It's not what you know
(But) who you know
So's, you know
I can go with the flow
Build my note
Then throw to snow
Before the show
Stay low
Play it on a Dobro
Oh, I tiptoe to and fro
From Ontario
My stereo's blue like the rodeo
Growing like a freak show free throw
It's just the intro
Keep dropping like dominoes
[Chorus]
One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four
[Riff]
[Verse 2]
Bbm
Now rewind
What'd you have in mind?
Could we unwind?
I'm fine
We can find a streamline
Recombine - intertwine
If I'm gonna headline
Tryin' to be moving all the behinds
Line to line
Try to shine
Redesigned - redefined
Keeping up the spellbind
Gotta make it worth the grind
Just in time to have another close encounter of the third kind
[Chorus]
One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four
[Bridge 1]
Bbm (2)
I've been away for years and a day
Ebm
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely
Bbm (2)
But I'm out here to stay
F Bbm (2)
Wouldn't have it any other way
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Oh flip, the light is turning orange
Coat ripped when I caught it in the door hinge
I slip when the lady in the four-inch
Bought it in a store in Germany
You wore it like a makeshift snowdrift
Had to get a gift
Saw the red shift rift
Gretta got an eyelift
Oh sure, that one's obscure
Maybe piss-poor, but I had to take a little detour
[Bridge 2]
I've been away for years and a day
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely
But I'm out here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way
[Riff] (x4)
