If I Can Make Mississippi

If I can make Mississippi Then I'll be alright These ol' white lines are lonely On this two-lane tonight I've got just enough whiskey To keep me warm till the mornin' light If I can make Mississippi Mississippi tonight I headed out west To seek my fortune and fame I sure made a mess It 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 ol' white lines are lonely And the headlights are bright I've got just enough whiskey To keep me warm till the mornin' light If I could make Mississippi Mississippi tonight She said, she would wait She said our love was strong Well, 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 can make Mississippi If I can make it back home If I can make Mississippi If I can make it back home --- If I Can Make Mississippi - Vince Gill and Lee Ann Womack
