Patent Pending - Lights Out In Mississippi lyrics

there's no hope in Cincinnati there's no town like Baton Rouge i can offer you Chicago, still there's nothing i can do so i'm holding fast to Houston, while she screams Niagara Falls and i hope and pray you won't return at all [chorus:] as the lights burn out in Mississippi as the tears roll down in old St. Paul i'll be writing you this letter Kansas City (dreaming) where i hope and pray you won't return at all there's no left turns in Jersey i don't care for San Jose and i'll probably go to Vegas in the fall head west to San Diego while New York is standing tall and i hope and pray you won't return at all [chorus] when the sun comes up in Pasadena when the waves crash down in the Carolinas when i lose all hope in Colorado when the heat dies down in Arizona every song i sing i'll sing for you i'll call at 3am just like i always do every second every minute every hour of the day you're always on my mind [chorus]
