Cry No Mississippi Lyrics

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
