[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
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 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

[Verse 2]
And I've been getting 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' around waiting with the porch light on
[Chorus]
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
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 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

[Post-Chorus]
Rivers don't run

[Bridge]
I ain't going crazy out of my mind
The clouds don't rain and the road don't wind
And I don't wish I was kissin' you
And I ain't missin' you

[Chorus]
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
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 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
And rivers don't run, no
