If I Can Make Mississippi

If I can make Mississippi then I'll be alright

These ole white lines are lonely

On this two-lane tonight

I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm

Till the mornin'light

If I could make Mississippi Mississippi tonight

I headed out west to seek my fortune and fame

I sure made a mess took it all but my name

Why I ever left I can never explain

If I can make Mississippi through this pouring rain

If I can make Mississippi then I'll be alright

These ole white lines are lonely

And the headlights are bright

I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm

Till the mornin'light

If I could make Mississippi Mississippi tonight

She said she would wait

Said our love was strong

I'm just so afraid

I've been gone for too long

When I walk through that gate

Will she be there or long long gone

If I could make Mississippi

If I could make it back home

If I could make Mississippi

If I could make it back home
