Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama's dead and gone
Papa ain't there
Mama's dead and gone
Papa don't care
[Verse 2]
Brother buried his head
Pocket full of shotgun shells
He's just a merry man
Stuck in that whiskey well
[Verse 3]
What's left of my backbone is buildin' this broken home
Buildin' it up just to leave
City will chain me, how could you blame me?
Not breaking the law to break free
So please take Jackson out of me
[Verse 4]
Sister lays her head
She's just a loser queen
She's known too many beds
But she sure can sing
[Verse 5]
Your hopeless soul
Beggin' for more time
Rather die than get old
Too bad you ain't the killing kind
[Verse 6]
What's left of my backbone is building this broken home
Building it up just to leave
City will chain me, how could you blame me?
Not breaking the law to break free
So please take Jackson out of me
[Verse 7]
For this country wears me down
There's nothin' left for me in this town
These dreams I make before I wake
Well, I won't waste no more time, hey
[Verse 8]
What's left of my backbone is buildin' this broken home
Buildin' it up just to leave
City will chain me, how could you blame me?
Not breaking the law to break free
So please take Jackson out of me
[Verse 9]
Take Jackson out of me
Take Jackson out of me
