about

the original hit by the brown brothers

lyrics

me and my ol lady
we went down to mississippi
blastin skynyrd on the 55
her hair was blowin wild
and she turned to me and smiled
i'm the luckiest man alive

well i've driven it before and i'll drive it again
but i'll never feel like that much of a man
as when i'm drivin with my baby on the mississippi 55

and i'm drivin that car
she's drivin me wild
big blue sky
goin miles and miles
and she's lookin real pretty
and i'm lookin real sharp
and i'm steerin that car
and she's stealin my heart

when we got to jackson then we started in relaxin
yeah we found a little waterin hole
in the flicker of the neon
that honky tonk was blastin
and that jukebox spoke right to my soul

and she looked me in the eyes and said i have a surprise
baby let's get back on that 55
so we hopped back in the car
i hit the gas and then we started to fly

but i want you to know:
i remained loyal as a lioness

i remained loyal as a pyramid
