Lyrics

Mama always wanted a Cadillac
Daddy a truck with a gun rack
Me I just played by the train track
And thought about leaving home
Daddy drank whiskey like water
Mama tried to stop him and he fought her
For someone who didn’t want a daughter
He sure couldn’t leave me alone
Dirt poor
That’s what they’d say
And that kind of dirt doesn’t wash away
If I had a million dollars
It wouldn’t change what we were
I can still hear ‘em holler
Hey, dirt poor
I used to think about Jesus
Tried to be more like he was
But turning the other check just got me another welt
So one night when Daddy was passed out
I got the matches and the gas out
Got Mama and me and the cats out and Daddy went straight to hell
Dirt poor
That’s what they’d say
And that kind of dirt doesn’t wash away
If I had a million dollars
It wouldn’t change what we were
I can still hear ‘em holler
Hey, dirt poor
Well I knew how this was gonna wind up
It didn’t take long for them to find us
Now I’ll be gone before my time’s up and they’ll put on my grave
Dirt poor
That’s what they’ll say
And that kind of dirt doesn’t wash away
If I had a million dollars
It wouldn’t change what we were
I can still hear ‘em holler
Hey, hey, dirt poor
