Ned Henry - Hippie from Mississippi [Lyric Video]

Описание: Well you heard about the hippie hailed from Mississippi
Running from the Sisters and religion
Westward to New Orleans
To make up for so much lost time
And take a stab at chords and rhyme
Some successes there, but he wanted more ones
Got a deal in Nashville there but
Down to Earth went no damn where
Looking back that worked out for the best
Him and Jerry Jeff in their
Ragtop Packard open air
Hopped on A1A bound for Key West

CHORUS
So raise a tin cup chalice
All you gypsies in the palace
To the hippie from Mississippi here’s a toast
Ia ora te natura
The good times will endure-a
So raise a glass to the King of the Coast

The Chart Room let him play for beers
For vagabonds and buccaneers
He threw away his long pants and his comb
And right there then on Duval Street
He put those flip-flops on his feet
Then he knew he’d found him a home
But country couldn’t take a joke
And he wasn’t really rock or folk
So that’s when he invented Gulf and Western
He took the summer on the road
And brought it to the ice and snow
And made Chicago feel like it was Destin

CHORUS
So raise a tin cup chalice
All you gypsies in the palace
To the hippie from Mississippi here’s a toast
Ia ora te natura
The good times will endure-a
So raise a glass to the King of the Coast

With songs of every different kind
He could conjure up a state of mind
And fill your head with answers, dreams and questions
Like love the now and life’s a game
Where’s the salt? and who’s to blame?
Adventures? Listen close he’s got suggestions
He bought a bar down in Saint Bart
And put out Songs You Know By Heart
Seems everybody’s got an inner beach bum
Y’all know where it goes from here
The restaurants and Land Shark beer
And the Parrotheads - no one saw that com-in’

CHORUS
So raise a tin cup chalice
All you gypsies in the palace
To the hippie from Mississippi here’s a toast
Ia ora te natura
The good times will endure-a
So raise a glass to the King of the Coast
So raise a tin cup chalice
All you gypsies in the palace
To the hippie from Mississippi here’s a toast
Ia ora te natura
The good times will endure-a
So raise a glass to the King of the Coast
So raise another glass to the King of the Coast
Yeah raise another glass to the King of the Coast
