Mississippi Rain Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I've been thinkin' about the river 

And my years there on the other side 

It's gotten me wishin' I hadn't come back home 

'Cause the pieces just don't fall in line. 

This town's a stranger and it's left me far behind. 

Mississippi rain, you keep falling down 

And the river gets wider each day 

I'll be moving on, I can't stay around 

And I can't go back to yesterday.

The river's much too wide 

The river's much too wide. 

I left home, started travelin' 

I became a southern wind 

And now no longer do I belong here 

I can never be a part of it again. 

This town's a stranger and it's left me far behind. 

Mississippi rain, you keep falling down 

And the river gets wider each day 

I'll be moving on, I can't stay around 

And I cannot go back to yesterday. 

The river's much too wide 

The river's much too wide.

Rain, you keep fallin' 

Rain, you keep fallin' 

Rain, you keep fallin' 

The river's much too wide.
