Song | Ballad Of Billy Jo McKay |
Artist | Shawn Mullins |
Album | Soul's Core |
作词 : Mullins | |
My name's billy jo mckay, | |
I just turned 16 yesterday | |
I'm gonna get the nerve one day | |
To get outta here | |
My ma passed on 3 years ago, they said | |
It was cancer and it took her slow | |
And ever since then i've been | |
Sayin no to my daddy and my tears | |
Now when you come down our road | |
You gotta watch the bump | |
Right there across from | |
The garbage dump | |
You can find me out back | |
Jumpin on the trampoline | |
And in the springtime | |
We'll be skippin scholl | |
We sneak off | |
To the cantrell's swimming pool | |
Man, you can't get much cooler | |
Than me and my friend darlene | |
Now my grandaddy1s hands are worn | |
From 50 years of growin corn | |
Back behind the house where | |
I was born before he had to sell | |
And my cousin eddie, | |
He got shot in the walmart parkin lot | |
Yeah this little town's changed a lot, | |
He said it hurt like hell | |
My name's billy jo mckay, | |
It's a hot mississippi summer saturday | |
Daddy's on the front porch | |
With uncle dave drinkin dixie beer | |
16 years of being bored | |
My window's open, forget the door | |
Hope there's some gas in the | |
Old man's ford cause i'm outta here | |
I'm outta here, i'm outta here | |
Maybe i'll go down to biloxi | |
Or maybe to new orleans | |
Or maybe hotlanta |
