Jackson

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
 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
 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
 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!
 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
 Take Jackson out of me
 Take Jackson out of me
