It keeps raining down the tear stained face of this
lonely town and I drown
And I keep reaching for one good reason why you said good-bye
turn 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
that you ain't coming back
the sky can see you leaving
and it can't hold back the tears
its pouring down and my heart thinks its dying
Mississippi's crying
Night keeps looking for him like shining in this driveway
they don't shine
and I keep hoping that 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?
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 drown
Mississippi's crying
oooh oooh
