The official video for Christone "Kingfish" Ingram's "662" the title track from the 2021 Grammy Award winning album of the same name.

The number 662 references Ingram's hometown telephone area code, and of the album Ingram says, "662 is an ode to my roots, a nod to the area where I was born and raised. The title track, 662, encompasses how a small corner of the earth influenced my view of life and music. It also points to the growth I have had since my debut album. As much as I have been fortunate to get 'Outside Of This Town' (the title of his breakout single from his 2019 Grammy-nominated debut album, Kingfish), I do want people to know that the '662' will always be a major part of who I am."

LYRICS:

I COME FROM A RIVER TOWN

TALK ABOUT NOTHING TO DO

SKEETERS COME OUT WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN

GETS AWFUL STICKY, TOO

THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA

THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE BLUES

I WAS BORN RIGHT HERE IN THE 662

LOTS A PEOPLE GET UP EARLY

LOTS OF PEOPLE GETTING HIGH

THEY GOT A CHURCH ON EVERY CORNER

IF YOU’RE SEARCHING FOR THE BYE AND BYE

THERES A SOUND OOZING FROM THE GROUND

AND IT CUTS RIGHT THROUGH

YOU CAN ONLY FIND IT

DOWN HERE IN THE 662

MY DADDY WORKED AT COOPER TIRE

MY MAMA WAS RAISED IN THE HILLS

MY BROTHER MOVED OFF TO BALTIMORE

AND I’M LEFT HERE PAYING THESE BILLS

THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA

THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE BLUES

I WAS BORN SMACK DAB IN THE 662

I’M STILL KICKING THESE BLUES DOWN IN THE 662
