Crossin' the Mississippi - Eddie Rabbitt

Nineteen The number on his back, voted captain of his highschool football team He took us all the way to state, had a scholarship to play down in Tennessee Said he could run, he could duck, he could throw, he could go like you never seen Nineteen Well on the day those Twin Towers came down his whole world turned around He told 'em all ya'll I can't play ball there's a war on now So he walked right down with a few good men and he joined the Marines Nineteen He's the boy nextdoor Might'a carried your bag at the grocery store Now he's somebodies son in a hole with a gun in some foreign land Tryin'a hold on to his American Dreams. Nineteen There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere and a Soldier down We need someone who could run, who could duck to go get him out Ain't there one good man who'll raise his hand and take one for the team How about you Nineteen? He's the boy nextdoor Might'a carried your bag at the grocery store Now he's somebodies son in a hole with a gun in some foreign land Tryin'a hold on to his American Dreams Nineteen Brought him home today with a big parade down on Main Street Gave him a Purple Heart, a Silver Star, a soldier gave a speech Said he could run, he could duck, he could throw, he's the one that rescued me Said he could'a played for Tennessee Nineteen He was Nineteen

I've been there for you like I promised I'd do I'm sorry you know what I've been through but that ain't no excuse It's easy to see you're ready to leave and I've had it coming to me Be as angry as you need to be Whatever you do baby please don't give up on me If I woke up tomorrow and knew you were gone Everything that I do revolves around you Your faith in me can't you see it's the one thing that keeps me hanging on () () Don't give up on me.

Late one night behind corn whiskey I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi And the blues came walkin' like a man Without a word I passed that guitar over He tuned it up like I'd never seen A crooked smile was his expression He closed his eyes and then began to sing Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be When I woke up I looked into the mirror I saw no reflection for a while But as my eyes came into focus I recognized that crooked smile Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Late one night behind corn whiskey I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi And the blues came walkin' like a man Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be I don't wanna be Where I don't wanna be I don't wanna be I already know one thing

I'm growing tired of the big city lights Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights In all of my dreams I am roaming once more Back to my home on the old river shore I am sad and weary far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you, dear Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam Miss the Mississippi and you Roaming the wide world over Always alone and blue, so blue Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome Miss the Mississippi and you Roaming the wide world over Always alone and blue Memories are bringing happy days of yore Miss the Mississippi and you, dear Longing for my homeland, muddy water shore Miss the Mississippi and you

I'm so glad that I met you, baby And I'm so proud when we walk down the street And I know it's crazy to worry like I do But I get this feelin' that I'm losing you I get these suspicions Even though I know that you love me, baby And I really shouldn't feel this way Suspicions I can't help it, you're just so good lookin' I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me When I go out to a party with you You always turn every head in the room And I just know what's on every man's mind I try to fight it, but it gets me sometimes I get these suspicions Even though I know that you love me, baby And I really shouldn't feel this way Suspicions I can't help it, you're just so good lookin' I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me Oh, suspicions When I'm with you, I feel so satisfied The way you touch me when you lay by my side And that look you get in your eyes when we love Makes me hate myself for what I'm thinkin' of I get these suspicions Even though I know that you love me, baby And I really shouldn't feel this way Suspicions I can't help it, you're just so good lookin' I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me Suspicions Even though I know that you love me, baby And I really shouldn't feel this way Suspicions I can't help it, you're just so good lookin' I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me Even though I know that you love me, baby And I really shouldn't feel this way Oh, suspicions I can't help it, you're just so good lookin'
