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 wont beg and I wont crawl A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey But I wont 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 wont beg and I wont crawl A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey But I wont 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 wont beg and I wont crawl A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey But I wont cry, no Mississippi I wont cry, no Mississippi, no
