Lyrics

She was a hometown girl from New Orleans Better known to the public as River Queen But when I touched her hand by the movie screen She let me call her Brenda Lynn The summer days now turn in my memories We laugh out loud thinkin' 'bout the used to be Now every time I'm in love is a dozen dreams That only take me there again The broken boat flipped over down by the water Was the last I saw your face Where I had to say You know I'd love to stay That summer's made just to miss her Just like the Mississippi River I'll be on my way back home Someday back into that girl's arms She was in love when she gave me her name I wonder if the years took that feeling away If daydreaming is true then I'll find her the same Swinging on the back porch Now I would talk to this girl from dusk 'til dawn Swearin' for life conversations would carry on I promised 1,000 letters but sent just one She should have known I'd miss the mark I've always said I speak much better in person And this fall I can finally drive I remember saying You know I'd love to stay Summer's made just to miss her Just like the Mississippi River I'll be on my way back home Just to say it again She said she was in love when she gave me her name I wondered if the years took the feeling away If daydreaming is true then I'll find her the same Swinging on the back porch And I'll run to meet you Where the yard meets the end of the drive Your parents waiting And they take me inside You know they make me feel like family when I come around So I'll come around and say again You know I'd love to stay Summer's made just to miss her Just like the Mississippi River I'll be On my way back home
