Lyrics
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 ain't going there, I Chorus: Won't go down in a burst of flames 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 crawl But I won't beg and I wont crawl A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey But I won't cry no Mississippi There'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 all that I lost, but I Chorus: Won't go down in a burst of flames 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 crawl 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 Bridge: Hate to rain on your parade Hate to make that bubble bust It'll take more tears than you could make To turn my heart into rust Repeat Chorus
