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 are dark clouds as you drive away

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

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?

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
Mississippi's crying

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
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
Mississippi's crying
Oh, Mississippi's crying
