It keeps rainin' 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, you're leavin' me in this empty state
And all I can see are dark clouds as you drive away
Mississippi's cryin', baby, Mississippi's sad
I think we just figured out 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 dying
Mississippi's crying
Mississippi's crying
The night keeps lookin' for headlights
Shinin' in the 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 coming back, or is it gonna rain forever
Mississippi's cryin', baby, Mississippi's sad
I think we just figured out 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 dying
Mississippi's crying
Mississippi's crying
Where you goin', baby, what's in Tennessee
You never said a word about Memphis
So who is she
It keeps rainin' down the tear stained
Face of this lonely town, and I drown
