[Verse 1] Saw an old friend last night I hadnt seen in a couple years Stopped in a Galatoires, had a couple beers And talked about the price of oysters, the coach at LSU And then like I knew it would, the conversation turned to you [Verse 2] He had to go and I looked at my watch, it was 145 I headed down Canal, the quarter was comin alive A man on the corner told me that Jesus was comin soon But I was lost in the music and the crowd And the smell of cheap perfume [Chorus] Its not good for a, a man to be alone, but A woman needs someone that, that she can count on and I I walked down by the river in the cold gray dawn But love is like the Mississippi, when shes gone, shes gone [Verse 3] The line was long at Cafe Du Monde, so I walked out on the pier I thought about the winds and turns, mistakes that got me here I might as well try to change the course that this old river takes Than go back in time when you were mine, pretend its not late [Chorus] Its not good for a, a man to be alone, but A woman needs someone that, that she can count on and What Id give to go back, but the currents just too strong And love is like the Mississippi, when shes gone, shes gone See Brooks Dunn LiveGet tickets as low as 175You might also like[Chorus] Its not good for a, a man to be alone, but A woman needs someone that, that she can count on and What Id give to go back, but the currents just too strong And love is like the Mississippi, when shes gone, shes gone [Outro] Mmm Yeah, shes gone
