Mississippi Skies

I like that you don't know the new me I wonder if you wonder if I'm happy Like I wonder about you I didn't wanna know her name But now I'm kinda glad I do I wouldn't want to run into you On a busy street Hear about the life you said You could not give to me Under Mississippi skies I sure hope they treat you right I know you wanted to leave But at least she is there to hold you tight I hope you've learned to love the view Dance around your living room cnd you're smiling when you finally turn the light But I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope that now and then You think of me when counting stars so late at night Under Mississippi skies Told you I'd be passing through this summer But I don't think I'll make it after all I know you probably didn't think twice about it So no promises if I'm there in the fall Oh it nearly killed me being so close cnd feeling oh so far You know every night I still pray you might Find peace right where you are Under Mississippi skies I sure hope they treat you right I know you wanted to leave But at least she is there to hold you tight I hope you've learned to love the view Dance around your living room cnd you're smiling when you finally turn the light But I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope that now and then You think of me when you can't sleep late at night Under Mississippi skies I really thought I was okay But now I don't know if I'm gonna make it through The month of June The only comfort I can find Is that maybe your new life Makes you happier than we were laughing cll of those late nights Under Louisiana skies I sure hope she treats you right I hope she knows how lucky she is To be the one holding you tight I hope you learned to love the view cnd you spin her around your living room cnd you're smiling when you finally turn the light But I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry 'cause now and then I think of how you were always almost mine Under Louisiana skies
