Mississippi's Cryin

It keeps raining down the tear stained face

Of this lonely town and I drowned

And I keep reaching for one good reason

Why you said goodbye and turned around

Oh, you're leaving me in this empty state

And all I see are dark clouds as you drive away

Mississippi's crying, baby, Mississippi's sad

I think we just figured out you ain't coming back

The sky can see you leaving and it can't hold back the tears

Oh, it's pouring down and my heart thinks it's dying

Mississippi's crying, Mississippi's crying

The night keeps looking for a headlight shining

In this driveway but they don't shine

And I keep thinking this crazy storm

Will drive you home but not this time

Oh, my only wish is to change the weather

Are you coming back or is it gonna rain forever?

Mississippi's crying, baby, Mississippi's sad

I think we just figured out you ain't coming back

The sky can see you leaving and it can't hold back the tears

Oh, it's pouring down and my heart thinks it's dying

Mississippi's crying, Mississippi's crying

Where you going, baby, what's in Tennessee?

You never said a word about Memphis, so who is she?

It keeps raining down the tear stained face

Of this lonely town and I drowned
