Lyrics My Mississippi - Elvie Shane

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

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

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?

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

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
