|
Momma's dead and gone |
|
Papa ain't there |
|
Momma's dead and gone |
|
And Papa don't care |
|
Brother buried his head |
|
Pocket full of shotgun shells |
|
It's just a merry man |
|
Stuck in that whiskey well |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
What's left of my backbone |
|
Is building this broken home |
|
Building it up |
|
Just to leave me |
|
Said he could change me |
|
How could you blame me |
|
Not breaking the law |
|
To break free |
|
So please |
|
Take Jackson out of me |
|
Sister lays her head |
|
She's just a little queen |
|
She don't do many things |
|
But she sure can sing |
|
Your hopeless soul |
|
Begging for more time |
|
Grab a dive and get old |
|
Too bad you ain't the killing kind |
|
[Chorus] |
|
For this country wears me down |
|
There's nothing left for me in this town |
|
These dreams are made |
|
Before I went |
|
For I won't waste no more time |
|
Yeah! |
|
[Chorus] |
[2x] |
Take Jackson out of me |
