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

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
