Lyrics Miss The Mississippi And You - Emmylou Harris

(Bill Halley)
I′m growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamor tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore.
I am sad and weary far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you, you
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
Miss the Mississippi and you.
Rolling the wide world over
Always alone and blue
Nothin' seems to cheer me under heaven′s dome
Miss the Mississippi and you.
--- Instrumental ---
I'm growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamor tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore.
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm
Mississippi and you...
