Rivers Don't Run

Just last night in a bar downtown
You shut all those rumors down
Walkin' in with him, his hand in your pocket
No more me by your heart in a locket
But you took my hand when you found your break
Asked how I was, so I shot you straight

Rivers don't run
And the sun don't burn down in south Mississippi
And sex ain't fun
And you won't get drunk off of Tennessee whiskey
A rose ain't red, that sky ain't blue, and grass ain't green
And I ain't been in love with you since I was 17

Time put out that fire
And baby, I ain't no liar
And rivers don't run, no
And rivers don't run, no (yeah)

And I've been gettin' by just fine
And I don't wish his hand was mine
And your highs don't make me weak no more
Drinkin' 'bout you ain't what I come here for
At the end of the day, I'm holdin' my own
Ain't sittin' 'round waitin' with the porch light on

And rivers don't run
And the sun don't burn down in south Mississippi
And sex ain't fun
And you won't get drunk off of Tennessee whiskey
A rose ain't red, that sky ain't blue, and grass ain't green
And I ain't been in love with you since I was 17

Time put out that fire
And baby, I ain't no liar
And rivers don't run, no (no)
And rivers don't run, no (no), ooh, yeah
Rivers don't run

I ain't goin' crazy out of my mind
The clouds don't rain, and the roads don't wind
And I don't wish I was kissin' you
And I ain't missin' you

And rivers don't run
And the sun don't burn down in south Mississippi
And sex ain't fun
And you won't get drunk off of Tennessee whiskey
A rose ain't red, that sky ain't blue, and grass ain't green
And I ain't been in love with you since I was 17

Time put out that fire
Baby, I ain't no liar
And rivers don't run, no
And rivers don't run, no
And rivers don't run, no
