Jonathan East Lyrics
Melissa Lyrics
Now, people say she was always wild, even in her younger days
Spent many a night in the backseat of a car
I guess she never quiet grew out of the hell she used to raise
But, Lord, these days I think it�s gone too far
I met her in a bar room, somewhere down in New Orleans
Sippin� whiskey straight out of the jug
She was the sweetest thing I thought I�d ever seen
Lord, it didn�t take long to fall in love
Now, I�d done about anything to keep her by my side
But, nothing I could give that girl, could keep her satisfied.
(Chorus)
Ah, Melissa, can�t you see now what you�ve done
You can�t even look me in the eye
Now, it�s been real and God knows it�s been fun
Goodbye, Melissa, goodbye.
I got myself a steady job and we tried to settle down
I was saving up to buy that diamond ring
But, she just couldn�t stay out of them honky tonks downtown
Guess that domestic life just never was her thing
She found a man just a little bit better than the one she had back home
Left a letter by the bedroom dresser, took my truck and she was gone.
(Repeat Chorus)
I guess seeing me tonight, may come as a surprise
I can see the thoughts race through your mind
There�s no need to worry girl, go ahead and dry your eyes
And everything will be just fine
There�s no use to go on, about the things you put me through
It wouldn�t change you anyway; guess there�s nothing I can do.
(Repeat Chorus)
