I've seen rain
On the Mississippi Delta
I've seen the sun rise
on Baton Rouge
But of all the things
These eyes have seen
Baby, nothing compares to you
Well I heard some tales
From an old man in Jackson
'bout a sacred place in Tennessee
Where music fills the air
And love is everywhere
and a boy like me could never leave.
You know me
I had to see it for myself
So I hit the road
And took your heart along
And those cowboys play those strings
In ways I've never seen
But I only heard your song
I've seen rain
On the Mississippi Delta
I've seen the sun rise
On Baton Rouge
But of all the things
These eyes have seen
Baby, nothing compares to you
Now night is falling
on this crazy little town
And I'm headed out the door
Cause I know that all I need
Is you right here with me
And I'm not leaving anymore
I've seen rain
On the Mississippi Delta
I've seen the sun rise
On Baton Rouge
But of all the things
These eyes have seen
Baby nothing compares to you
No, nothing compares to you
Baby, nothing compares to you
