Tears of Mississippi

[Verse] Rain pours down like tears on the Mississippi shore Where the struggles of life weigh heavy once more The cypress trees stand tall, but the hearts are worn thin From the struggles of livin' and the pain within [Chorus] In the heart of the South, where the struggle is our fate We find our strength in the shadows, where the pain creates In the heart of the South, where the struggle is our name We rise up from the darkness, but the scars remain [Verse] The cotton fields stretch far and wide But the dreams are few, and the chances are divided In this deep South town, where the sun dips low and cold the people are strong, but their stories are old [Chorus] In the heart of the South, where the struggle is our fate We find our strength in the shadows, where the pain creates In the heart of the South, where the struggle is our name We rise up from the darkness, but the scars remain [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] In the heart of the South, where the struggle is our fate We find our strength in the shadows, where the pain creates In the heart of the South, where the struggle is our name We rise up from the darkness, but the scars remain [Outro] [End] [Chorus] In the heart of the South, where the struggle is our fate We find our strength in the shadows, where the pain creates In the heart of the South, where the struggle is our name We rise up from the darkness, but the scars remain [Outro] [End]
