Saw an old friend last night I hadn't seen in a couple of years Stopped in Galatoire's had a couple of beers Talked about the price of oysters, the coach at L.S.U. Then like I knew it would The conversation turned to you He had to go and I looked at my watch, it was 1:45 I headed down canal, the quarter was coming alive A man on the corner told me that Jesus was coming soon But I was lost in the music and the crowd And the smell of cheap perfume It's not good for a man to be alone But a women needs someone that she can count on And I walked down by the river in the cold gray dawn And love is like the Mississippi When she's gone, she's gone The line was long at Caf-Du-Monde so I walked out on the pier Thought about the winds and turns, mistakes that got me here I might as well try to change the course that this old river takes Than to go back in time when you were mine Pretend it's not too late It's not good for a man to be alone But a women needs someone that she can count on and What I'd give to go back but the current's just too strong And love is like the Mississippi When she's gone, she's gone It's not good for a man to be alone But a women needs someone that she can count on What I'd give to go back but the current's just too strong And love is like the Mississippi When she's gone, she's gone Yeah, she's gone © UNIVERSAL MUSIC CORP.; SONY/ATV SONGS D/B/A TREE PUBG CO; SUNSET POINT MUSIC; WAYSONG MUSIC; WAYWRIGHT MUSIC; TOMDOUGLASMUSIC; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
