My Mississippi

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
