It keeps running down the tear-stained face
Of this lonely town and I drown
And I keep reaching for one good reason
Why you said goodbye and turned around
Oh, you're leavin me in this empty state
And all I see are dark clouds as you drive away
Mississippis cryin, baby
Mississippis sad
I think we just figured out
That you aint comin back
The sky can see you leavin
And it cant hold back the tears
Oh, its pourin down and my heart thinks its dyin
Mississippis cryin, Mississippis cryin
The night keeps looking for headlights
Shining in this driveway but they dont shine
And I keep thinkin this crazy storm will
Drive you home but not this time
Oh, my only wish is to change the weather
Are you comin back or is it gonna rain forever?
Mississippis cryin, baby
Mississippis sad
I think we just figured out
That you aint comin back
The sky can see you leavin
And it cant hold back the tears
Oh, its pourin down and my heart thinks its dyin
Mississippis cryin, Mississippis cryin
Where you goin, baby?
Whats in Tennessee?
You never said a word about Memphis
So who is she?
It keeps running down the tear-stained face
Of this lonely town and I drown
Mississippis cryin, baby
Mississippis sad
I think we just figured out
That you aint comin back
The sky can see you leavin
And it cant hold back the tears
Mississippi, Mississippi
Mississippis cryin, Mississippis cryin
