I'm a kid with a guitar Trying to play ?, when they ask Where does your style come from? I know what you mean 'Cause I learned to sing Listening to blue, yodel number one We love Hank and Lefty Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, and Johnny Cash But if we had to pin point The start of who we are Or who we go by The Django and Jimmie Has Mississippi A young singing brakeman A jazz playing gypsy Might not have been A Merle or a Willie If not for a Django and Jimmie Through the twenties and thirties Jimmie sang his way to the top In spite of those old TB blues Django was a star He burned up a guitar With just two good fingers to use You can't turn back time Or put more sand in the glass But sometimes at night I close my eyes and go back The Django and Jimmie Has Mississippi A young singing brakeman A jazz playing gypsy Might not have been A Merle or a Willie If not for a Django and Jimmie It might not have been A Merle or a Willie If not for a Django and Jimmie
