Radney Foster - You Were So Right Lyrics
The Mississippi moves a whole lot slower than you thinkI've been to Memphis and rode it clean down to New OrleansI'd bet a Ben Franklin I've seen the whole world in betweenBut I ain't seen you in God knows whenToo much of that bootleg liquor, not near enough champagneToo much of that dust bowl love and not near enough Delta rainI shed too many tears last I smelled 'em burnin' the caneBut I ain't held you in God knows whenWe had a love that we held trueI don't know how it slipped awayYou always had good sense 'bout when to leaveI wish you knew something 'bout when to stayPower lines went down in hell 'cause they had an ice storm againThe devil he cursed the TVA and now he's headed down south of I-10You ain't been back so you must have cut some kind of deal with him'Cause hells froze over since God knows whenWe had a love that we held trueI don't know how it slipped awayYou always had good sense 'bout when to leaveGod I wish you knew something 'bout when to stayThe Mississippi moves a whole lot sadder than you thinkYou cry tears in Memphis, they hit bottom south of New OrleansYou won't feel redemption 'til they mingle in the warm Gulf StreamAnd that ain't gonna happen 'til God knows whenit ain't gonna happen 'til God knows whenI ain't gonna hold you 'til God knows when
