Well you can hear the country song from far,
And someone plays the honky tonky guitar,
Where all the lights will go on one by one,
People enjoying the sun,
And the wind takes it away,
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea,
And lovers found the place they like to be,
How many times before this song was ending,
Love and understanding everywhere around.

*Mississippi, I'll remember you,
Whenever I shall go away,
I'll be longing for the day,
When I will be in Greensville again,
Mississippi you'llbe on my mind,
Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along until the end of time.*

Now the country song forever lost it's soul,
When the guitar player turns to rock'n'roll,
And everytime when summer nights are falling,
I always will be calling,
Dreams of yesterday.

*Mississippi, I'll remember you,
Whenever I shall go away,
I'll be longing for the day,
When I will be in Greensville again,
Mississippi you'll be on my mind,
Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along until the end of time.*

Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along until the end of time.

Well you can hear the country song from far,
And someone plays the honky tonky tonk,
Where all the lights go on one by one,
People enjoying the sun,
And the wind takes it all away,
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the see,
And lovers found the place they like to be,
How many times before this song was ending,
Love and understanding everywhere around.

*Mississippi, I'll remember you,
Whenever I shall go away,
I'll be longing for the day,
When I will be in Greenvale again,
Mississippi you'llbe on my mind,
Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along untilthe end of time.*

Now the country song forever lost it's soul,

Every step of the way we walk the line
Your days are numbered, so are mine
Time is pilin' up, we struggle and we scrape
We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape

City's just a jungle; more games to play
Trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away
I was raised in the country, I been workin' in the town
I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down

Got nothin' for you, I had nothin' before
Don't even have anything for myself anymore
Sky full of fire, pain pourin' down
Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around

All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Well, the devil's in the alley, mule's in the stall
Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all
I was thinkin' 'bout the things that Rosie said
I was dreaming I was sleepin' in Rosie's bed

Walkin' through the leaves, falling from the trees
Feelin' like a stranger nobody sees
So many things that we never will undo
I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too

Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
I need somethin' strong to distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind

Well I got here followin' the southern star
I crossed that river just to be where you are
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinkin' fast
I'm drownin' in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothin' but affection for all those who've sailed with me

Everybody movin' if they ain't already there
Everybody got to move somewhere
Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
Things should start to get interestin' right about now

My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
I know that fortune is waitin' to be kind
So give me your hand and say you'll be mine

Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay
You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Well you can hear the country song from far,
And someone plays the honky tonky guitar,
Where all the lights will go on one by one,
People enjoying the sun,
And the wind takes it away,
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea,
And lovers found the place they like to be,
How many times before this song was ending,
Love and understanding everywhere around.

*Mississippi, I'll remember you,
Whenever I shall go away,
I'll be longing for the day,
When I will be in Greensville again,
Mississippi you'llbe on my mind,
Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along until the end of time.*

Now the country song forever lost it's soul,
When the guitar player turns to rock'n'roll,
And everytime when summer nights are falling,
I always will be calling,
Dreams of yesterday.

*Mississippi, I'll remember you,
Whenever I shall go away,
I'll be longing for the day,
When I will be in Greensville again,
Mississippi you'll be on my mind,
Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along until the end of time.*

Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along until the end of time.

Well you can hear the country song from far,
And someone plays the honky tonky tonk,
Where all the lights go on one by one,
People enjoying the sun,
And the wind takes it all away,
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the see,
And lovers found the place they like to be,
How many times before this song was ending,
Love and understanding everywhere around.
