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 your leavin' me
In this empty state
And all I see
Are dark clouds
As you drive away
Chorus:
Mississippi's cryin' baby
Mississipi's sad
I think we just figured out
That you ain't comin' back
The sky can see you leavin'
And it can't hold back the tears
Oh it's pourin' down
And my heart thinks it's dyin'
Mississippi's cryin'
Mississippi's cryin'
The night keeps looking
For headlights shining
In this driveway
But they don't 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
(Chorus)
Where you goin' baby?
What's 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
Mississippi's cryin' baby
Mississipi's sad
I think we just figured out
That you ain't comin' back
The sky can see you leavin'
And it can't hold back the tears
Mississippi, Mississippi
Mississippi's cryin'
Mississippi's cryin'
