Ballad of Billy Jo McKay

Lyrics

My names billy jo mckay
 I just turned 16 yesterday
 Im 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 outback
 Jumpin on the trampoline
 And in the springtime
 We'll be skippin school
 We sneak off
 To the cantralls swimming pool
 Man you cant get much cooler
 Than me and my friend darlene
 ♪
 Now my grandaddys 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 a walmart parkin lot
 This little towns changed alot
 He said it hurt like hell
 ♪
 My names billy jo mckay
 Its a hot mississippi summer saturday
 Daddys on the front porch
 With uncle dave drinkin dixie beer
 16 years of bein bored
 My windows open forget the door
 Hope theres some gas in the
 Old mans ford cause im outta here
 Im outta here im outta here
 ♪
 Maybe i'll go down to biloxi
 Or maybe to new orleans
 Or maybe hotlanta
