I've seen rain on the Mississippi delta I've seen the sun rise on Baton Rouge But of all the things these eyes have seen Baby, nothing compares to you
I heard some tales from an old man in Jackson 'Bout a sacred place in Tennessee Where music fills the air and love is everywhere And a boy like me could never leave
And you know me - had to see it for myself So I hit the road and took your heart along And those cowboys played those strings in ways I've never seen But I only heard your song
I've seen rain on the Mississippi delta I've seen the sun rise on Baton Rouge But of all the things these eyes have seen Baby, nothing compares to you
Now, night is falling on this crazy, little town And I'm heading out the door 'Cause I know that I all I need is you right here with me And I'm not leaving anymore
I've seen rain on the Mississippi delta I've seen the sun rise on Baton Rouge But of all the things these eyes have seen Baby, nothing compares to you No, nothing compares to you Baby, nothing compares to you
