Josh Kelley - Mississippi River Girl lyrics

She would sit alone by the bank Always coming home so late She'd take off all her clothes and jump in I'd be giving up man if she'd be giving in Baby let me dry your hair I got some clothes that you can wear Over there on the bed And I'd always forgive her, but the Mississippi River never did She'd sit out on the dock and put her feet in She was skipping rocks and she was skipping School again She stole my only cigarettes, she smoked the Whole pack one by one, light em up and Put em to her lips And I'd always forgive her but the Mississippi River never did She was always running away No matter how hard I tried, she would Never stay, and I wish that she would run To me Like the Mississippi river, is running Towards the sea, And now my poor heart is on the mend, And I'll always be with her, because the Mississippi river never ends I'll always be with her because the Mississippi river never ends
