Missing Mississippi Lyrics

Been missing Mississippi

Even though I

Never been south of Tennessee

We were interns in the city

Working long days

Working hard and working cheap

No windows in the mailroom

But I don't mind

There's nothing else I need to see

You know I've never been shy of working

But sometimes

You had me caught up in your dream

But now I'm

Missing Mississippi

Even though I

Never been south of Tennessee

Missing Mississippi

Missing Mississippi

And I hope she's missing me

Summer love don't last a century

Cause when the fall came

You headed back for your degree

Tupelo must have kept you busy

Cause when the phone rang

You left me waiting with that beep

Moving on is such a mystery

Cause every time I try

I find that I'll always be

Missing Mississippi

Even though I

Never been south of Tennessee

Missing Mississippi

Missing Mississippi

So please come home

Back where you belong

And someday I won't be

Missing Mississippi

Missing Mississippi

Missing Mississippi

Even though I

Never been south of Tennessee

Missing Mississippi

Missing Mississippi

And I hope she's missing me

And I hope she's missing me

And I hope she's missing me

And I hope you're missing me
