Melissa
Now, people say she was always wild, even in her younger days Spent many a night in the backseat of a car I guess she never quiet grew out of the hell she used to raise But, Lord, these days I think it’s gone too far I met her in a bar room, somewhere down in New Orleans Sippin’ whiskey straight out of the jug She was the sweetest thing I thought I’d ever seen Lord, it didn’t take long to fall in love Now, I’d done about anything to keep her by my side But, nothing I could give that girl, could keep her satisfied. (Chorus) Ah, Melissa, can’t you see now what you’ve done You can’t even look me in the eye Now, it’s been real and God knows it’s been fun Goodbye, Melissa, goodbye. I got myself a steady job and we tried to settle down I was saving up to buy that diamond ring But, she just couldn’t stay out of them honky tonks downtown Guess that domestic life just never was her thing She found a man just a little bit better than the one she had back home Left a letter by the bedroom dresser, took my truck and she was gone. (Repeat Chorus) Letras de cancionesI guess seeing me tonight, may come as a surprise I can see the thoughts race through your mind There’s no need to worry girl, go ahead and dry your eyes And everything will be just fine There’s no use to go on, about the things you put me through It wouldn’t change you anyway; guess there’s nothing I can do. (Repeat Chorus) From Letras Mania
