Tupelo Mississippi | |
Flash I’m gonna tell you a story that’s all about | |
This job I had one time as a talent scout, hmm. | |
I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasn’t in town | |
The day this hired legged guitar picker just happened to come around. | |
Well, he walks in my office with a great big grin, | |
And folks that’s where my story really begins. | |
He said, “ | |
Son my name is | |
Boregard Rippy. | |
I come to you from | |
Tupelo Mississippi. | |
I write songs that’ll sing like a bird, | |
I play licks on my guitar like you ain’t never heard. | |
But I’m down on my luck and things are just a little slack. | |
I gotta quarter in my pocket and a shirt on my back. | |
But you buy me some supper and give me a place | |
I can sleep | |
He said “I’ll sing you some songs that’ll rock your head to sleep. | |
I got talent boy. | |
Said back home they call me the | |
Tupelo Mississippi | |
Flash Well | |
I knew I was in a room with some kind of a nut | |
When he pulled out that pack of used cigarette butts. | |
So that’s when | |
I told him “ | |
We can’t use you today” | |
So I handed the boy a dollar and sent him on his way | |
Well the boss got back and we both had a laugh | |
When I told him ‘bout the | |
Tupelo Mississippi | |
Flash And pretty soon | |
I had the story circling around | |
About this | |
Mississippi nut that we had in our town. | |
I said, “watch him everybody, the boy’s squirrelly! | |
He walks around calling himself the | |
Tupelo Mississippi | |
Flash.” Well it happened one day while | |
I was driving to my home | |
I just happened to have my car radio on. | |
When I heard the jockey raving about a brand new smash | |
By a kid called the | |
Tupelo Mississippi | |
Flash I almost wrecked my automobile | |
I went through a red light | |
I hit the traffic cop.... | |
Why?? Well my story’s got an ending and it’s short and sweet | |
The boss man he fired me and left me out in the street | |
But I got a new job now and | |
I’m as learnin’ real fast | |
I’m drivin’ the bus for the | |
Tupelo Mississippi | |
Flash And his | |
Cadillac I’m driving that for him too | |
And that yacht he’s got. | |
And is there a plane?? | |
Well chauffeur, show good | |
I always say | |
Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it........... |
