Missouri Mistake

Chorus

Missouri mistook him for a local son

Ten long years behind the wire and done

Now we're cruising where the tall grass grows

Through the highs and lows

Where the river flows

(Where the river flows)

Verse 1

Buckhorn floor with the plastic molds

Not the future that the warden told

Iowa called for your signature line

But for a moment you were mine

Packing up the truck

Pushing on our luck

Pre-Chorus

They told me honey don't you dare go

Pack the bags let the engine roll

Watching for the white lines on the blacktop

Counting every mile until the heart stop

Chorus

Missouri mistook him for a local son

Ten long years behind the wire and done

Now we're cruising where the tall grass grows

Through the highs and lows

Where the river flows

(Where the river flows)

Post-Chorus

Work it out

Turn around

Slide it left

Cross the ground

Yeah

(Yeah)

Verse 2

Our boy carries the name you gave

A different kind of path to pave

He calls you Dad because the heart is true

We risked it all just to get to you

Now the lake is glass

Watching seasons pass

Pre-Chorus

Lean back on the chrome and the leather seat

Harley hum beneath our traveling feet

Hear the jet skis cutting through the blue

Everything is better when I'm next to you

Chorus

Missouri mistook him for a local son

Ten long years behind the wire and done

Now we're cruising where the tall grass grows

Through the highs and lows

Where the river flows

(Where the river flows)

Bridge

Hey Monkey

I hear you call

You caught me

Before the fall

Ten years strong

And a hundred more

Love you Jeff

To the core

Chorus

Missouri mistook him for a local son

Ten long years behind the wire and done

Now we're cruising where the tall grass grows

Through the highs and lows

Where the river flows

(Where the river flows)

Post-Chorus

Step it out

To the side

Iowabound

For the ride

Yeah

(Yeah)
