Johnathan East - Melissa lyrics

Your rating:

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)



I 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)
