[Verse 1:]
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 goodbye
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 you ain't coming back
The sky can see you leaving
And it can't hold back the tears
It's pouring down
And my heart thinks it's dying
Mississippi's crying
[Verse 2:]
Now he keeps looking for headlights
Shining in this driveway
But they don't shine
And I keep hoping 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?
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
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
[Repeat Chorus:]
