Description
Obviously, my song is not professionally recorded. I don't have that access or the funds to do so. However, I am originally from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and I wanted to write something that could be almost a rallying song for the people there. It's got a country/zydeco feel. I hope you enjoy this rudimentary recording.
Lyrics
THE MISSISSIPPI SOUND By Ryan T. Miller VERSE 1 Cruising down 90 goin 45, tryin’ to keep the image in my mind alive Workin’ all week, just tryin’ to make due. Ready for a party, now how about you? Got my weekend plans, don’t ya know I can’t wait, Come on everybody don’t ya hesitate CHORUS I say hey ho, take a deep breath when the gulf breeze blows Hey man, coolin’ my jets down in Pass Christian Ain’t no secret that I’m Gulf Coast bound, Rollin’ with the rhythm of the Mississippi Sound VERSE 2 Mr. can you tell me how to get to Long Beach? I need the sand neath my toes and a beer within reach. I hear the gulls up above, I see the sandpipers play. Livin’ it up on Biloxi’s back-bay. We got rum runners, smugglers, pirates, and more. Everybody’s booty is down on our shore. CHORUS I say hey ho. Take a deep breath when that gulf breeze blows Hey Man. Eatin’ Pirates Cove down in Pass Christian. Ain’t no secret when you see what I’ve found. Rollin’ in the treasure of the Mississippi Sound. INSTRUMENTAL B SECTION You know there are times we can take it on the chin. We’ve lost some dreams along the way. But you can’t say that we ain’t never gonna win. Though storms may steal our thunder We’ll just build it all over again!!!! Ain’t no secret when you see what we’ve found, Rollin with the rhythm of the Mississippi Sound VERSE 3 From Bay St. Louis down to Ocean Springs. The people of the coast all share the same thing With pride in our hearts and love all around. We’re dancin’ to the music of the Mississippi Sound We’re a hard working people and we play hard too. Welcome to the party folks, Bienvenue! CHORUS I say hey ho. Take a deep breath when the gulf breeze blows. Hey now! Mardi Gras parties down in Gulf Port Town! With pride in our hearts and love all around. We’re dancin’ to the rhythm of the Mississippi Sound We don’t care where you from, just come on down. We’d love to have you party at the Mississippi Sound With pride in our hearts and love all around, rollin’ with the rhythm of the Mississippi Sound
