Crossin' The Mississippi - Lyrics - Eddie Rabbitt

Edward Thomas "Eddie" Rabbitt was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His career began as a songwriter in the late 1960s, springboarding to a recording career after composing hits such as "Kentucky Rain" for Elvis Presley in 1970 and "Pure Love" for Ronnie Milsap in 1974. Later in the 1970s, Rabbitt helped to develop the crossover-influenced sound of country music prevalent in the 1980s with such hits as "Suspicions" and "Every Which Way but Loose." His duets "Both to Each Other " and "You and I", with Juice Newton and Crystal Gayle respectively, later appeared on the soap operas Days of Our Lives and All My Children.

Well, I'm a-crossin' the Mississippi into heaven tonight I got a little lady named Suzanna on the other side And when that Memphis lady's on my mind Well, you can see me headin' 'cross the Tennessee borderline I'm crossin' the Mississippi into heaven tonight I got a good-payin' job in Little Rock, Arkansas I am a hard-workin' guy, I'm patriotic, and I don't break the law But when my fantasies start to flow Well, I jump in the Ford and it's down the road I go I'm crossin' the Mississippi into heaven tonight Well, there's a devil drivin' this car down the highway There's a burnin' in my body that I can't control Red wine and a fun time and easy lovin' That's why I'm crossin' the Mississippi into heaven Crossin' the Mississippi into heaven Crossin' the Mississippi into heaven tonight That's right Well, there's a devil drivin' this car down the highway There's a burnin' in my body that I can't control Red wine and a fun time and easy lovin' That's why I'm crossin' the Mississippi into heaven Crossin' the Mississippi into heaven Crossin' the Mississippi into heaven tonight Crossin' the Mississippi Crossin' the Mississippi Crossin' into heaven Crossin' the Mississippi Crossin' into heaven
