Testo Mississippi's Cryin' Emily West
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 leavinâ me in this empty state
And all I see are dark clouds as you drive away
Mississippiâs cryinâ baby
Mississipiâs sad
I think we just figured out
That you ainât cominâ back
The sky can see you leavinâ
And it canât hold back the tears
Oh itâs pourinâ down and my heart thinks itâs dyinâ
Mississippiâs cryinâ
Mississippiâs cryinâ
The night keeps looking for headlights shining in this driveway
But they donât shine
And I keep thinkinâ this crazy storm will drive you home
But not this time
Oh my only wish is to change the weather
Are you cominâ back or is it gonna rain forever
Mississippiâs cryinâ baby
Mississipiâs sad
I think we just figured out
That you ainât cominâ back
The sky can see you leavinâ
And it canât hold back the tears
Oh itâs pourinâ down and my heart thinks itâs dyinâ
Mississippiâs cryinâ
Mississippiâs cryinâ
Where you goinâ baby?
Whatâs 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
Mississippiâs cryinâ baby
Mississipiâs sad
I think we just figured out
That you ainât cominâ back
The sky can see you leavinâ
And it canât hold back the tears
Mississippi, Mississippi
Mississippiâs cryinâ
Mississippiâs cryinâ
