[Verse]
CI still see tail Glights in the Ddark
CSmell your Gperfume in the Dair
CThis is where a Gfool might fall Dapart
Mm but I ain't Agoin' there
[Chorus]
I won't go Cdown in a burst of Gflames
I won't stay Clocked up in your Gchains
Yeah it Churts but it ain't Gstrong enough to Awhip me
I might Cstagger and I might Gfall
But I won't Cbeg and I won't Gcrawl
A Ctear or two might Gfall into my shot of Awhiskey
But I won't Ccry no GMississDippi
[Verse]
CThere's nowhere to Ghide in this small Dtown
CI know our Gpaths are bound to Dcross
CGirl I might Gstand on shaky Dground
When I see all Athat I lost
[Chorus]
But I won't go Cdown in a burst of Gflames
I won't stay Clocked up in your Gchains
Yeah it Churts but it ain't Gstrong enough to Awhip me
I might Cstagger and I might Gfall
But I won't Cbeg and I won't Gcrawl
A Ctear or two might Gfall into my shot of Awhiskey
But I won't Ccry no GMississDippi
No no
[Verse]
I hate to Crain to on your Gparade
I hate to Cmake your bubble Gbust
It's going to take Cmore tears than you can Gmake
To make my Aheart turn into rust
[Chorus]
I won't go Cdown in a burst of Gflames
I won't stay Clocked up in your Gchains
Girl you Churt me but you Gain't strong enough to Awhip me
Ooh I might Cstagger and I might Gfall
But I won't Cbeg and I won't Gcrawl
A Ctear or two might Gfall into my shot of Awhiskey
But I won't Ccry no GMississDippi
Oh I won't Ccry no GMississDippi mmhm
