Cry No Mississippi Songtext

von The SteelDrivers

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
