I Don’t Want To Miss Mississippi
Seger Ellis
I don't want to miss Mississippi anymore
I don't want to miss Mississippi by the shore
I wanna there, I wanna go where
Life was heavenly before
I don't wanna dream 'bout the river I adore
I don't wanna dream, dreams don't help me anymore
I've got a shack there, I'm going back there
Where the 'ssippi meets the shore
Say I'm homesick, got the blues
Call it anything you chose
But this yearning 'bout returning
Is something I can't love
I don't want to miss Mississippi anymore
I don't want to miss all the folks I'm longing for
I'm tired of roaming, I'm long for homing
Mississippi by the shore
