Volunteer

Daddy worked hard, mama worked harder Propped up on pain pills and pride They were just kids when I came in this world And I was a kid when they died They'd fight about money, they'd fight about fighting They'd fight about nothin' at all Car was still running when the deputy found him At the Shell by the Gunbarrel Mall Take me away from here No, I never belonged to this place Wish I could disappear off the edge of the earth Take me away from here No, I don't wanna fight for the rest of my life I ain't your volunteer I cried when I missed them, got lost in the system Foster homes passed me around Last one was nice but I ran away twice And they gave up on tracking me down I met a girl, says she's from Chattanooga But I think she grew up out west Can't say I love her, but she's someone to talk to And I like the tattoo on her chest I found us a spot on the KOA campground She says she sleeps good in the Scout But I got in a fight with the neighbor last night And they'll probably be kicking us out Some nights I drink when I'm in Colorado Working a cannabis farm Some night I dream that the ghost of my mama Is holding me tight in her arms Take me away from here No, I never belonged to this place Wish I could disappear off the edge of the earth someday Take me away from here No, I don't wanna fight for the rest of my life I ain't your volunteer Take me away from here And as he's licking the blade of a $10 knife Wish I could disappear off the edge of the earth Take me away from here I'm nobody's man, and she's nobody's wife I ain't your volunteer I ain't your volunteer I ain't your volunteer
