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 old 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

Sex ain't fun

And you won't get drunk off of Tennessee whiskey

Roses 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 seventeen

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

And sittin' 'round waiting 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

Roses 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 seventeen

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

Rivers don't run

I ain't going 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

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

Roses 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 seventeen

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
