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
