Jackson

Jackson
Momma's dead and gone
Papa ain't there
Momma's dead and gone
Papa don't care
Brother buried his head
Pocket full of shotgun shells
He's just a merry man
Stuck in that whiskey well

What's left of my backbone
Is building this broken home
Building it up
Just to leave
City will chain 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 loser queen
She's known too many beds
But she sure can sing
Your hopeless soul
Begging for more time
Rather die than get old
Too bad you ain't the killing kind
What's left of my backbone
Is building this broken home
Building it up
Just to leave
City will chain me
How could you blame me
Not breaking the law
To break free
So please
Take Jackson out of me
For this country wears me down
There's nothing left for me in this town
These dreams I make before I wake
Well, I won't waste no more time
Hey!
What's left of my backbone
Is building this broken home
Building it up
Just to leave
City will chain me
How could you blame me
Not breaking the law
To break free
So please
Take Jackson out of me

Take Jackson out of me
Take Jackson out of me
