cry no mississippi

i still see tail lights in the dark

smell your perfume in the air

this is where a fool might fall apart

mm but i ain't goin' there

i won't go down in a burst of flames

i won't stay locked up in your chains

yeah it hurts but it ain't strong enough to whip me

i might stagger and i might fall

but i won't beg and i won't crawl

a tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey

but i won't cry no mississippi

there's nowhere to hide in this small town

i know our paths are bound to cross

girl i might stand on shaky ground

when i see all that i lost

but i won't go down in a burst of flames

i won't stay locked up in your chains

yeah it hurts but it ain't strong enough to whip me

i might stagger and i might fall

but i won't beg and i won't crawl

a tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey

but i won't cry no mississippi

no no

i hate to rain to on your parade

i hate to make your bubble bust

it's going to take more tears than you can make

to make my heart turn into rust

i won't go down in a burst of flames

i won't stay locked up in your chains

girl you hurt me but you ain't strong enough to whip me

ooh

i might stagger and i might fall

but i won't beg and i won't crawl

a tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey

but i won't cry no mississippi

oh

i won't cry no mississippi

mmhm.
