Lyrics

I've been thinkin' about the river And my years there on the other side It's gotten me wishin' I hadn't come back home 'Cause the pieces just don't fall in line This town's a stranger and it's left me far behind Mississippi rain, you keep falling down And the river gets wider each day I'll be moving on, I can't stay around And I can't go back to yesterday The river's much too wide The river's much too wide I left home, started travelin' I became a southern wind And now no longer do I belong here I can never be a part of it again This town's a stranger and it's left me far behind Mississippi rain, you keep falling down And the river gets wider each day I'll be moving on, I can't stay around And I cannot go back to yesterday The river's much too wide The river's much too wide Rain, you keep fallin' Rain, you keep fallin' Rain, you keep fallin' The river's much too wide
