My Mississippi - Jeff Bates

I traded a '57 Chevy for my first guitar
我用一辆雪佛兰老爷车换了第一把吉他
And Daddy said I was crazy 'cause that was a helluva car
爸爸说我疯了，那可是一辆好车
When I played "Love Me Tender" on that Fender
当我靠在挡泥板上，弹起猫王的歌
And the music came pourin' out of my hands and heart
音乐从我的指尖，我的心底流淌开来
He knew it was worth it and so did I
他和我都认为，这一切值得
'Cause sometimes some things don't have a price
因为有时候，金钱买不到所有东西
So I learned to play all my heroes' songs
所以，我学着弹奏偶像们的歌
And I finally got around to writin' a few of my own
最后，我尝试着自己写几首歌
The songs got better I put a band together
唱得越来越好，我组了一个乐队
And we played our first gig at a little club in McComb

When I walked on stage and opened my mouth

I started to sing and you came pouring out

So I packed my Delta dreams and came to Music City
哦，我在家乡把梦想装进行囊，来到音乐之都
Brought a whole lot of me a little Presley and some Twitty
我有自己的特点，还带着一点点猫王和Twitty的味道
I came here to make it but if I don't I can take it

Just as long as I have you with me

I know I'm gonna be strong enough
