Mississippi's Crying Lyrics

Songwriters: Fairchild, Shelly; Smith, Stephony

It keeps rainin' 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, you're leavin' me in this empty state
And all I can see are dark clouds as you drive away

Mississippi's cryin', baby, Mississippi's sad
I think we just figured out 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 dying
Mississippi's crying
Mississippi's crying

The night keeps lookin' for headlights
Shinin' in the 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 coming back,or is it gonna rain forever

Mississippi's cryin', baby, Mississippi's sad
I think we just figured out 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 dying
Mississippi's crying
Mississippi's crying

Where you goin', baby, what's in Tennessee
You never said a word about Memphis
So who is she

It keeps rainin' down the tear stained
Face of this lonely town, and I drown
