[Lyrics for 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
Mississippis cryin baby
Mississipis sad
I think we just figured out
That you aint comin back
The sky can see you leavin
And it cant hold back the tears
Oh its pourin down and my heart thinks its dyin
Mississippis cryin
Mississippis cryin
The night keeps looking for headlights shining in this driveway
But they dont 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
Mississippis cryin baby
Mississipis sad
I think we just figured out
That you aint comin back
The sky can see you leavin
And it cant hold back the tears
Oh its pourin down and my heart thinks its dyin
Mississippis cryin
Mississippis cryin
Where you goin baby?
Whats 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
Mississippis cryin baby
Mississipis sad
I think we just figured out
That you aint comin back
The sky can see you leavin
And it cant hold back the tears
Mississippi, Mississippi
Mississippis cryin
Mississippis cryin
