Lyrics
They killed my brother in a poker game
Damn this town, I'm leaving
Daddy stayed drunk and he died insane
Damn this town, I'm leaving
Mama had to work, daddy raised the kids
Damn this town, I'm leaving
I ain't gonna tell you what her youngest boy did
Damn this town, I'm leaving
Damn this town, I mean it this time
Damn this town, I made up my mind
Damn this town, damn this town
I got a sister who's a thief and she's filled with hate
Now she's got a job working for the state
Another brother just got out of the Florida Pen
Wears a bracelet on his ankle, so they know where he's been
Damn this town, I mean it this time
Damn this town, I made up my mind
Damn this town, damn this town
A couple of sisters made it out all right
A brother in the army fighting for his life
There must be some kind of reckoning
A righteous judgment for all these things
Damn this town, I mean it this time
Damn this town, I made up my mind
Damn this town, damn this town
That's all I'm gonna say about my family
Damn this town, I'm leaving
But maybe you'd like to know, a little about me
Damn this town, I'm leaving
I'm 58 years old, still live at home like a kid
Damn this town, I'm leaving
Now I can't help my momma tell you, what her youngest boy did
Damn this town, I'm leaving
