Charley Pride - Along The Mississippi lyrics
[Charley Pride - Along The Mississippi lyrics]
When we were young along the Mississippi
Life was never lonely way back then
We'd meet each other down
Along the dirt road
And go for walks along the river bend
I bought some ground along the Mississippi
And told you of my plans that lay ahead
But you were dreaming all about big city
And far off places in the books you read
Now when leaves fall down
Along the Mississippi
I look back north into the chilly wind
I wait and watch for you along the dirt road
And wonder if you're coming back again
I built the house along the Mississippi
And longing for the day when we would wed
I waited for you down along the dirt road
But far off places won your heart instead
Now when leaves fall down
Along the Mississippi
I look back north into the chilly wind
I wait and watch for you along the dirt road
And wonder if you're coming back again
And wonder if you're coming back again
Life was never lonely way back then
We'd meet each other down
Along the dirt road
And go for walks along the river bend
I bought some ground along the Mississippi
And told you of my plans that lay ahead
But you were dreaming all about big city
And far off places in the books you read
Now when leaves fall down
Along the Mississippi
I look back north into the chilly wind
I wait and watch for you along the dirt road
And wonder if you're coming back again
I built the house along the Mississippi
And longing for the day when we would wed
I waited for you down along the dirt road
But far off places won your heart instead
Now when leaves fall down
Along the Mississippi
I look back north into the chilly wind
I wait and watch for you along the dirt road
And wonder if you're coming back again
And wonder if you're coming back again
