Eddie Rabbitt

Edward Thomas "Eddie" Rabbitt (November 27, 1941 – May 7, 1998) 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 "Friends and Lovers" 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. more »

Well, I'm a-crossin' the Mississippi into heaven tonight
I got a little lady named Susanna 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, patriotic, and I don't break the law
But when my fantasies start to float
Well, I jump in the fog and it's down the road I go
I'm crossin' the Mississippi into heaven tonight

Well, there's a devil a-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 a-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
