[Verse]
G D
If I can make Missis- -sippi then I'll be al- -right
G A
These ole white lines are lonely on this two-lane tonight
G D A/C# Bm
I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm till the morn- in' light
G A G D
If I could make Mis- -sissippi, Mississippi tonight
[Chorus]
G D
I headed out west to seek my fortune and fame
G A
I sure made a mess, took it all but my name
G D A/C# Bm
Why I ev- er left, I can never ex- plain
G A G D
If I can make Mis- -sissippi through this pouring rain
[Verse]

If I can make Missis- -sippi, then I'll be al- -right

I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm till the morn- in' light

If I could make Mis- -sissippi, Mississippi tonight

[Verse]
G D
She said she would wait, said our love was strong
G A
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
G A G D
If I could make Mis- -sissippi, if I could make it back home

If I could make Mis- -sissippi, if I could make it back home
