lirik lagu shawn mullins - ballad of billy jo mckay
my name’s billy jo mckay
just turned sixteen yesterday
i’m gonna get the nerve one day
to get outta here
my mom p-ssed on three years ago they said
it was cancer and it took her slow
ever since then i’ve been
sayin’ no to my daddy and my tears
if you come down our road
you gotta watch the b-mp
right there across from
the garbage dump
you can find me out back
jumpin’ on the trampoline
when the springtime
we’ll be skippin school
we sneak off
to the cantrell’s swimming pool
man, you can’t get much cooler
me and my friend darlene, yea
[incomprehensible]
my granddaddy’s hands are worn
from fifty years of growin’ corn
back behind the house where
i was born, before he had to sell
my cousin eddie
he got shot in the walmart parkin’ lot
this little town’s changed a lot
he said, “it hurt like h-ll”
my name’s billy jo mckay
it’s a hot mississippi summer sat-rday
daddy’s on the farm porch
with uncle dave drinkin’ dixie beer
sixteen years of being bored
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 of here, i’m outta of here
i’m outta of here, i’m outta of here
see i’m outta of here
maybe i’ll go down to biloxi
maybe to new orleans
maybe hotlanta
