Listen to a bit of this song
It all comes down to rainy days
watching tornadoes
My mama prayed God would see us through
All I remember is the sky turned blue again
In Mississippi
Mississippi often calls to me
You know I miss it sometimes
Mississippi, never let me be
I used to dance all day on the riverbank
Fishing for nothing
Round and Round till I got dizzy
Lord, you know that I miss Mississippi
I miss it sometimes
The muddy water, running through my veins
Yes sir, No maam - we learned to
retpect some things
Like Sunday School and the old folks
And our friends and neighbors
I wonder sometimes what the worlds' come to
The sky's turned brown instead of blue
Oh, Mississippi
I miss Papa, God rest his soul
We lived on next to nothing
But none of us kids seemed to know
I used to sit all day on the railroad track
Waiting for Daddy
He worked all day on the extra gang
All I remember was the man could play
Play the guitar
Older now, I got a child of my own
Been around the world so many times,
I can call any place home
But that old-time religion
Its' still good enough for me
I can't help believing
That the Lord's reminding me of Mississippi
I'm a little bit country
My love is rock n roll
A little bit blues-man
All of it thrills my soul
But it all comes down to rainy day
watching tornadoes
Mama prayed God would get us through
All I remember is the sky turned blue again
In Mississippi

Your ticket sir, what's your destination?
I said, Home
I think he thought I was crazy
He looked at me and asked, are you alone?
I don't think so
Is there A ticket for your friend?
I just said No.
He lifted his hat and scratched his head
And moved away slow
The wheels on this train rolling over
A change is round the bend
If I die in the next town, roll me over
With a smile on my face
I'll lell you that i like the new place
Chorus:
I will nol forget you
You never slip from this presence of mind
Love will never let me
Give your place Io the smoothest talking
stranger in the world
Not much for changing
The fact is I'm afraid, but that's ok
I wrap my things in
A little bag of promises you made
Your rod and you staff
Comfort me when things are out of hand
I got a sling in my pocket
And a couple of rocks for the giants in this land
Wheels on this train rolling over
Moving down the line
If I fall in the next town, It won't knock me over
I've got faith in your grace
You tought me not to jump, no way
Chorus, Repeat
If I stall in the next race, start me over
Move me down the line
If I die in the next town roll me over
With a smile on my face
I'll tell you that I love the new place
Chorus, Repeat
So happy to be so
Oblivious to what's around the bend
If I only knew more
I'd probably run from a lesson to be learned
I gotta get up now
Get some blood to my feet
Cause I think we're getting closer
Don't wanna be sleeping
And have you wake me when it's over
Chorus:
I will not forget you
You'll never fade from this child's memory, no sir
Love will never let me
Give your place to the smoothest talking
stranger in the world
Chorus, Repeat
Fade

I remember the very night
I was no more than a young man
All I can say
It was one of the more stranger times
I stared at the evening stars
And I was not mistaken
For the one who made them
I'd wait a long long time
Chorus:
In a world full of hurt
In a world full of sorrow
For the mender of broken ways
I'd gladly wait for days
I will wait for days
I Will wait all my life
I will wait forever
For the meaning of everything
For an answer of a lifetime
I'd give it all
I'd wait a long, long time
Chorus, Repeat
Bridge:
For the One who turned simple water into wine
And the One who gave flawless sight
to the blind man
For the ender of loneliness
And the One who foreives us
I'd give my life
I'd wait such a long, long, long time
Chorus, Repeat
top
When the roll is called up yonder
I belive that I'll be there
I'm the same man with the same needs
As always
Though they say the soul is free to
Choose a path to each his own
We're living in the same world
Under the same pale moon together
Chorus:
Some change will do us all some good
It's so good for one to find
That there is no stairway to heaven
Only a bridge Divine
They tell me change
Change is needed
To heep the world from growing old
We all have the same dreams for our children
As always
He hung the earth upon nothing
Said to a storm Peace be Still
What more could we give them
Than something that could keep
them safe forever
Chorus, Repeat
They tell me he hearts are torn asunder
By the pain of moving on
Were riding on the same rails
On a train that's bound for forever
I hope you know
You re still my good friend
And when the saints go marching in
I would like to turn and see your face
So be there
Chorus, Repeat

I saw you stumble down the hall this morning
Your sweet face glistened with a brand new day
I don't just wonder, it amazes me
Children, children and what they see
I sit and wonder Just what you are thinking
When I catch you listening for a brand new sound
You seem to find the music in the simplest things
You should have seen you when you
first heard me sing
Chorus:
Baby blues
I got a dream for you
Baby blues
You're part of me
Baby blues
I got a dream for you
Baby blues
I tend to marvel when you play with those
old things
To me they're nothing to you a pot of gold things
I thought that you're supposed to learn from me
But you're the teacher, I wish I saw as you see
Oh what wonder when I find you sleeping
Your head on my shoulder, I don't make a sound
I just sit and wonder what my life will be when
I'm older and you're not around
Chorus: Repeat
I saw you stumble down the hallway this morning
Your sweet face glistened with a brand new day
I don't just wonder it amazes me
Children, children and what they see
Chorus, Repeat
