Andy Griggs - No Mississippi lyrics

rate me

I still see tailights in the dark

I still smell your perfume in the air

This is where a fool would fall apart

But i aint going there

Chorus:

Wont go down in a burst of flames

Wont stay locked up in your chains

Yeah, it hurts but it aint strong enough to whip me

I might stagger, i might crawl

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

Ther's no where to hide in this small town

I know our paths are bound to cross

I might stand on shakey ground

When I see what i lost but I

Chorus:

Wont go down in a burst of flames

Wont stay locked up in your chains

Yeah, it hurts but it aint strong enough to whip me

I might stagger, i might crawl

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

Bridge:

Hate to rain on your parade

Hate to make that bubble bust

Itll take more tears than you ciould make

to turn my heart into rust
