No Mississippi

I still see tail lights in the dark

I smell your perfume in the air

This is where a fool might fall apart

But I ain't going 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, 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 no where to hide in this small town

I know our paths are bound to cross

And I might stand on shaky ground

When I see all I have lost

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, 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

Well I hate to rain on your parade

I hate to make your bubble bust

It's going to take more tears

Than you can make to my heart turn into rust

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, 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

I won't cry, no Mississippi, no
