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’
