[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
