[Intro]
Alright, here we go

[Verse 1]
Well, I need a sip of muddy water
From my daddy's wishing well
Scattered his ashes on the delta
From here on, I'll be drinking by myself
Where pink Cadillacs and blue suede shoes meet
Steel guitars and new grass blues
The music there, it ain't turned into business
Tonight I'll be somewhere south of Memphis

[Chorus]
Where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
And the blues runs deep in your blood
I love this land with God as my witness
I'll live and die somewhere south of Memphis

[Verse 2]
Well, I've seen my share of big old cities
But I couldn't wait to get back home
Where they'll play you a, a front porch song for free
That reminds you that they ain't been free for long
Where them juke joints jump on a Friday night
And you don't need a gun to settle no fight
And come Sunday morning, hell, you'll be begging for forgiveness
That's just life somewhere south of Memphis
[Chorus]
Where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
And the blues runs deep in your blood
I love this land with God as my witness
I'll live and die somewhere south of Memphis

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Yeah, where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
And the blues runs deep in your blood
Well, I love this land with God as my witness
Well, I'll live and die
I said, I'll, I'll live and die
Somewhere south of Memphis
Well, that's just life
Well, that's life
