If I Can Make Mississippi

If I can make Mississippi then I'll be alright
These ole white lines are lonely
On this two-lane tonight
I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm
Till the mornin'light
If I could make Mississippi Mississippi tonight
I headed out west to seek my fortune and fame
I sure made a mess took it all but my name
Why I ever left I can never explain
If I can make Mississippi through this pouring rain
If I can make Mississippi then I'll be alright
These ole white lines are lonely
And the headlights are bright
I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm
Till the mornin'light
If I could make Mississippi Mississippi tonight
She said she would wait
Said our love was strong
I'm just so afraid
I've been gone for too long
When I walk through that gate
Will she be there or long long gone
If I could make Mississippi
If I could make it back home
If I could make Mississippi
If I could make it back home
