Jerry Reed - Tupelo Mississippi Flash

I'm gonna tell you a story that's all about

This job I had one time as a talent scout



I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasn't in town

The day this hired legged guitar picker just happened to come around

Well, he walks into my office with a great big grin

And folks that's where my story really begins



He said, '€œSon my name is Boregard Rippy

I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi

I write songs that'll sing like a bird

I play licks on my guitar like you ain't never heard"



"But I'm down on my luck, things are just a little slack

I gotta quarter in my pocket and a shirt on my back

But you buy me some supper, give me a place I can sleep"

He said, '€œI'll sing you some songs

That'll knock your head to creak, 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 that's when I told him, '€œWe can't use you today'€

So I handed the boy a dollar and I 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 circlin' around

About this Mississippi nut that we had in our town



I said, '€œWatch him everybody, the boy's squirrely

He walks around callin' himself the Tupelo Mississippi Flash'€



Well, and it happened one day while I was drivin' to my home

I just happened to have my car radio on

When I heard the jockey ravin' about a brand new smash

By a kid called the Tupelo Mississippi Flash



Well, I almost wrecked my automobile

I went through a red light, I hit the traffic cop, why



Well, my story's got an ending and it's short and sweet

The boss man he fired me and left me out in the street

But I got a new job now and I'm learnin' real fast

I'm drivin' the bus for the Tupelo Mississippi Flash



And his Cadillac, I'm driving that for him too

And that yacht he's got, and his aeroplane

Well, chauffeur, so good, I always say

Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it, why



I'll kill the boy

Help him somebody
