The SteelDrivers - 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 take 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
