DEMO: MISSISSIPPI IS A LOVE SONG THAT I WROTE IN 1974.
Mississippi
I’m yours for the asking
Close your eyes
And we’ll keep rolling along
What you tell me
I still can’t believe it
That you’re leaving me behind for someone new
I keep seeing
You sleeping beside me
All the mornings
I have taken you home
Now you tell me
You’re going to be leaving
Oh, Mississippi say it isn’t true
I’ll take the first train back to Tennessee
I’ll tell you it’s the last you’ll hear from me
I’ll make it on my own, just wait and see
Wait and see…..
Mississippi
You’re one I’ll remember
Hold your head up
Don’t get drunk every day
Stay away from
The ties that will bind you
And I hope that lucky star will light your way
How can you expect me not to cry
After all this time we’ve been so high
And now all you want to tell me is goodbye
Mississippi goodbye
Mississippi goodbye…..
