Emily West Mississippi's Cryin'
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
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
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’
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’
