Lights Out In Mississippi lyrics

there`s no hope in Cincinnati or a town like Baton Rouge
i can offer you Chicago, still there`s nothing i can do
so i`m holding fast to Houston, as you scream Niagara Falls
and i hope and pray you won`t return at all

as the lights burn out in Mississippi
as the tears roll down in old St. Paul
i`ll be writing you this letter Kansas City (dreaming)
while i hope and pray you won`t return at all

there`s no left turns in Jersey
i don`t care for San Jose
and i`ll probably go to Vegas in the fall
head west to San Diego
while New York is standing tall
and i hope and pray you won`t return at all

when the sun comes up in Pasadena
when the waves crash down in the Carolinas
when i lose all hope in Colorado
when the heart dies down in Arizona
every song i sing i`ll sing for you
i`ll call at 3am just like i always do
every second every minute every hour of the day
you`re always on my mind
