                      MISSISSIPPI MUD
                       WILL DEMPSEY

INTRO:
Am    C    G    Am

VERSE:
          Am
Left his home in Louisiana
            C
Headed for Nashville, Tennessee
          G
Where he plays in the bars and prays to the stars
    Am
To find his melody

          Am
He spends all thoise nights under the neon lights
 C
Trying to chase a dream
          G
Where he tries to be heard singing someone else`s words
             Am
But there`s more to him than what it seems

          Am
See he`s always been pretty good with a pen
        C
And he wears his heart on his sleeve
            G
So put him under the lights with a pic and a mike
     Am
And he`ll make you believe


CHORUS:
       Am
`Cause he ain`t no cowboy
       C
No he don`t try to play the part
             G
He`s just a southern boy who likes making noise
        Am
And he sings straight from his heart

        Am
He was raised on the mud from the Mississippi floods
            C
Yeah, he`s usualy a simple man
            G
But you`ll know his name, he`ll make you feel his pain
       Am                    C Am
With a six string in his hand


VERSE:
        Am
He was always told he was chasing fools gold
               C
`You`ll never make it anyway
           G
And even though he tried, the passion inside
      Am
Just wouldn`t go away

      Am
So I guess you can blame that rhythm in his veins
        C
It was too hard to ignore
           G
And he`s known all along right where he belongs
        Em
And he can`t fight it anymore


CHORUS:
       Am
`Cause he ain`t no cowboy
       C
No he don`t try to play the part
             G
He`s just a southern boy who likes making noise
        Am
And he sings straight from his heart

        Am
He was raised on the mud from the Mississippi floods
            C
Yeah, he`s usualy a simple man
            G
But you`ll know his name, he`ll make you feel his pain
       Am
With a six string in his hand


POST-CHORUS:
       Am
No he ain`t here to claim the money or the fame
            C
Yeah, he`s got a much bigger goal
             G
To take his love and his hurt and pour it into verse
          Em                Em  Am    C    G    Em
That you feel deep in your soooooul                Noooooooo


CHORUS:
Am
He ain`t no cowboy
        C
But he won`t apologize
         G
For his jeans or his boots or his deep southern roots
        Am
Or the fire in his eyes

          Am
Got that Mississippi mud, running through his blood
          C
And he`s never been ashamed
        G
And he ain`t backing down
    G
Or leaving this town
      Em
Till they all know his name
