Lights Out In Mississippi

there's no hope in Cincinnati or a town like Baton Rouge

i can offer you Chicago, still there's nothing i can do

so i'm holding fast to Houston, as you scream Niagara Falls

and i hope and pray you won't return at all

as the lights burn out in Mississippi

as the tears roll down in old St. Paul

i'll be writing you this letter Kansas City (dreaming)

while i hope and pray you won't return at all

there's no left turns in Jersey

i don't care for San Jose

and i'll probably go to Vegas in the fall

head west to San Diego

while New York is standing tall

and i hope and pray you won't return at all

when the sun comes up in Pasadena

when the waves crash down in the Carolinas

when i lose all hope in Colorado

when the heart dies down in Arizona

every song i sing i'll sing for you

i'll call at 3am just like i always do

every second every minute every hour of the day

you're always on my mind
