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 make 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
