My Mississippi

Hey there, Mississippi

Looks like the waters gettin' rough

I picked a hell of a day for fishin'

The way the wind keeps pickin' up

I know I look crazy on this muddy bank

But it's the only place I thought I wouldn't think

Hey there, Mississippi

I know a girl a lot like you

I bet she's tearin' right through the country

And there's nothin' I can do to slow her down

Yeah, love's like a river, you can't stop it when it's runnin' out

And headed south

Like my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

My Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

I know all about the ones that get away

If I know anything

So it's no surprise I didn't catch

The only bite I had all day

Well, I wonder if my luck will ever change

Is the chance of her ever comin' back

Anything like the chance of rain?

Hey there, Mississippi

I know a girl a lot like you

I bet she's tearin' right through the country

And there's nothin' I can do to slow her down

Yeah, love's like a river, you can't stop it when it's runnin' out

And headed south

Like my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

My Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

Hey there, Mississippi

I know a girl a lot like you

I bet she's tearin' right through the country

And there's nothin' I can do to slow her down, turn her around

Love's like a river, you can't stop it when it's runnin' out

And headed south

Like my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

My Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

Said my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

She's my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh
