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
Chorus:
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,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?
Chorus
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
