Elvie Shane - My Mississippi

Hey there, Mississippi
Looks like the water's 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

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, yeah, oh-oh
My Mississippi, yeah, oh-oh

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 comin' back anything like the chance of rain?

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, yeah, oh-oh
My Mississippi, yeah, oh-oh

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, yeah, oh-oh
My Mississippi, yeah, oh-oh
Said, my Mississippi, oh-oh
She's my Mississippi, oh-oh
