I'm a kid with a guitar Trying to play new nuages When they ask Where does your style come from I know what you mean Cause I learned to sing Listening to blue yodel No 1 We love hank and lefty Bob Wills ernest tubbs And Johnny Cash But if we had to pinpoint The start of who we are we'd go back Django and Jimmie Paris Mississippi A young singing brakeman A jazz playing gypsy There might not have been A merle or a willie if not For Django and Jimmie Through the 20's and 30's Jimmie sang his way To the top despite of those old blues Django was a star he burned up a guitar With just two good fingers to use You can't turn back time Or put more sand in the glass But sometimes at night I close my eyes and go back Django and Jimmie Paris Mississippi A young singing brakeman A jazz playing gypsy There might not have been A merle or a willie If not for Django and Jimmie There might not have been A merle or a willie If not for Django and Jimmie
