I was born where the river bends,

Verse 1: She was raised in the bayou, where the moss hangs low, With a heart as wild as the river's flow, Louisiana woman, with a Creole soul, Dancing in the moonlight, where the swamp grass grows. Chorus: He's a Mississippi man, with a Southern drawl, Fishing in the delta, where the catfish call, Across the muddy waters, through the cypress stands, Love's a story written in the heart of Dixieland. Verse 2: He was born by the levee, where the cotton blooms, With dreams as big as the delta's tunes, Mississippi man, with a heart of gold, Strumming that guitar, where the river rolls. Chorus: He's a Mississippi man, with a Southern drawl, Fishing in the delta, where the catfish call, Across the muddy waters, through the cypress stands, Love's a story written in the heart of Dixieland. Bridge: Through the summer heat and the winter's chill, Their love keeps growing, strong as a Southern will, From Baton Rouge to Jackson's land, Together they stand, hand in hand. Chorus: He's a Mississippi man, with a Southern drawl, Fishing in the delta, where the catfish call, Across the muddy waters, through the cypress stands, Love's a story written in the heart of Dixieland. Outro: So here's to the love that bridges the stream, A Louisiana woman and a Mississippi man's dream, In the heart of the South, where the rivers meet, Their love runs deep, strong, and sweet.
