Emily West - Mississippi's Cryin' lyrics

It keeps running down the tear-stained face of this lonely town And I drown And I keep reaching for one good reason why you said goodbye And turned around Oh your leavin’ me in this empty state And all I see are dark clouds as you drive away Mississippi’s cryin’ baby Mississipi’s sad I think we just figured out That you ain’t comin’ back The sky can see you leavin’ And it can’t hold back the tears Oh it’s pourin’ down and my heart thinks it’s dyin’ Mississippi’s cryin’ Mississippi’s cryin’ The night keeps looking for headlights shining in this driveway But they don’t shine And I keep thinkin’ this crazy storm will drive you home But not this time Oh my only wish is to change the weather Are you comin’ back or is it gonna rain forever Mississippi’s cryin’ baby Mississipi’s sad I think we just figured out That you ain’t comin’ back The sky can see you leavin’ And it can’t hold back the tears Oh it’s pourin’ down and my heart thinks it’s dyin’ Mississippi’s cryin’ Mississippi’s cryin’ Where you goin’ baby? What’s in Tennessee? You never said a word about Memphis So who is she? It keeps running down the tear-stained face of this lonely town And I drown Mississippi’s cryin’ baby Mississipi’s sad I think we just figured out That you ain’t comin’ back The sky can see you leavin’ And it can’t hold back the tears Mississippi, Mississippi Mississippi’s cryin’ Mississippi’s cryin’ (Thanks to Amanda for these lyrics)
