John Oates - Miss the Mississippi and You

Copied!

I'm growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights
And in my dreams I'd been roaming once more
Far from my home on the old river shore

I am so sad and weary far away from home
I miss the Mississippi and you
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
I miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
I miss the Mississippi and you

Roamin' the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Mockingbirds singin' 'round the cabin door
I miss the Mississippi and you

Longing for my homeland
But it won't show
I miss the Mississippi and you
Miss the Mississippi and you
