Don't Mississippi

Blake Shelton

Compositor: Shane McAnally / Ross Copperman / Ben Hayslip / Josh Osborne

You don't have to pace yourself
It's probably better if you don't
There's plenty up on that shelf
To take you anywhere you want

She done left you, she done wrecked you
And she ain't comin' back
Before you refill it, be sure you kill it
There's still a little in that glass

So don't Mississippi, don't waste a drink
Turn on the tipsy if you don't wanna think
'Bout how she been, where she is, why she gotta be like this
What she doin' and who she been doin' it with
Just tip the whole bottle all the way back
A gallon of tears ain't worth an ounce of Jack
You ain't gotta stop, just drown in the whiskey
You'll need every drop, don't Mississippi

Someday, you're gonna be alright
You won't even miss her at all
But that ain't gonna be tonight
So work your way down that wall

It's a bad night, look at the bright side
It can't get any worse
You might die from a broken heart
But you ain't gonna die of thirst

So don't Mississippi, don't waste a drink
Turn on the tipsy if you don't wanna think
'Bout how she been, where she is, why she gotta be like this
What she doin' and who she been doin' it with
Just tip the whole bottle all the way back
A gallon of tears ain't worth an ounce of Jack
You ain't gotta stop, just drown in the whiskey
You'll need every drop, don't Mississippi
Not one single 'Sippi

She done left you, she done wrecked you
And she ain't comin' back
Before you refill it, be sure you kill it
There's still a little in that glass

So don't Mississippi, don't waste a drink
Turn on the tipsy if you don't wanna think
'Bout how she been, where she is, why she gotta be like this
What she doin' and who she been doin' it with
Just tip the whole bottle all the way back
A gallon of tears ain't worth an ounce of Jack
You ain't gotta stop, just drown in the whiskey
You'll need every drop, don't Mississippi
Not one single 'Sippi
