White Trash Hell

Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turning down to avoid them when they call
Strange words i heard a long long time ago

I wish i could back to a summer time
I knew more than twenty years ago
Can't lay between the sheets
We lie underneath the maple tree now

Now i can't smile

Lying in the grass with the wind around us
As we smile and talk
Listen to your grandma sing those country songs
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire
Every four years
We'd lay in the grass all summer long
Just to watch the autumn come around. . .

I can't smile
I can't smile

Now i live alone
And your so far away
Yeah i call you every year
Just around the holidays
I still see you in the night
Lying above me in the grass. . .

I can't smile

Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turning down to avoid them when they call
I can't believe this letter that said you died
I think i'm gonna go back to the house in north carolina

And lay in the backyard
Get drunk and let the leaves
Just bury me
Bury me. . .

I can't smile

We had a mutual friend and he said
You've been talking again
I'm not responsible for your life falling apart
I'm not responsible

You and me could have been the best friends
That we'd never had
You've done everything that you could to damage me, damage me i'm walking away
I'm closing my eyes
I'm letting it go, letting it go
Hey i'm telling you now
I'm drawing the line
Don't say it again
Just keep it inside
It happened to me, in love with the same girl
Nobody's fault, yeah nobody's fault
Hey maybe for the first time act like a grown man
Yeah keep it in...

You and me could have been the best friends
But we'd never had the best friends
I'm walking away, letting it go
I'm closing my eyes
I'm telling you now
I'm lonely again, just keep it inside
Hey, it happened to me, in love with the same girl
It happened to me, me over you
Hey maybe for the first time act like a grown man
Keep it in
Yeah keep it in...

I use to know a girl. . .
She had two pierced nipples and a black tattoo
We'd drink that mexican beer
We'd live on mexican food
Yes, i wish i could go back
Yes, back in time

Esther used to be
The kind of girl that you would ever leave
She'd do anything
To give me what i neeed for my disease
I can hear them talking in the real world
But they don't understand
I'm happy in hell
With my heroin girl


I am losing myself in a white-trash hell
Lost inside a heroin girl


They found her out in the fields
About a mile from home
Her face was warm from the sun
But her body was cold
I head a policeman say
Just another overdose. . .just another overdose!
