Miss the Mississippi (Studio Outtake - 1992)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm growin' tired of the big city nights Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights In all my dreams I am roamin' once more Back to my home on the old river shore [Verse 2] I am sad and weary far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you dear Nights are dark and dreary everywhere I roam Miss the Mississippi and you [Refrain] Rolling the wide world over Always alone and blue, blue Nothin' seems to cheer me under heaven's dome Miss the Mississippi and you [Verse 3] Memories are bringing happy days of yore Missing Mississippi and you Mocking birds are singing around the cabin door Missing Mississippi and you [Refrain] Rolling the wide world over Always alone and blue, so blue Longin' for my homeland, muddy water shore Miss the Mississippi and you
