Tupelo Mississippi Flash
Im gonna tell you a story thats all about
This job I had one time as a talent scout, hmm.
I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasnt in town
The day this hired legged guitar picker just happened to come around.
Well, he walks in my office with a great big grin,
And folks thats where my story really begins.
He said, Son my name is Boregard Rippy.
I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi.
I write songs thatll sing like a bird,
I play licks on my guitar like you aint never heard.
But Im down on my luck and things are just a little slack.
I gotta quarter in my pocket and a shirt on my back.
But you buy me some supper and give me a place I can sleep
He said Ill sing you some songs thatll rock your head to sleep.
I got talent boy.Said back home they call me the Tupelo Mississippi Flash
Well I knew I was in a room with some kind of a nut
When he pulled out that pack of used cigarette butts.
So thats when I told him We cant use you today?
So I handed the boy a dollar and sent him on his way
Well the boss got back and we both had a laugh
When I told him bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash
And pretty soon I had the story circling around
About this Mississippi nut that we had in our town.
I said, watch him everybody, the boys squirrelly!
He walks around calling himself the Tupelo Mississippi Flash.?
Well it happened one day while I was driving to my home
I just happened to have my car radio on.
When I heard the jockey raving about a brand new smash
By a kid called the Tupelo Mississippi Flash
I almost wrecked my automobile
I went through a red light
I hit the traffic cop....Why??
Well my storys got an ending and its short and sweet
The boss man he fired me and left me out in the street
But I got a new job now and Im as learnin real fast
Im drivin the bus for the Tupelo Mississippi Flash
And his Cadillac Im driving that for him too
And that yacht hes got.
And is there a plane??
Well chauffeur, chauffeur I hear him say
Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it...........
