Ballad Of Billy Jo Mckay

My name's billy jo mckay,

I just turned 16 yesterday

I'm gonna get the nerve one day

To get outta here

My ma passed on 3 years ago, they said

It was cancer and it took her slow

And ever since then i've been

Sayin no to my daddy and my tears

Now when you come down our road

You gotta watch the bump

Right there across from

The garbage dump

You can find me out back

Jumpin on the trampoline

And in the springtime

We'll be skippin scholl

We sneak off

To the cantrell's swimming pool

Man, you can't get much cooler

Than me and my friend darlene

Now my grandaddy1s hands are worn

From 50 years of growin corn

Back behind the house where

I was born before he had to sell

And my cousin eddie,

He got shot in the walmart parkin lot

Yeah this little town's changed a lot,

He said it hurt like hell

My name's billy jo mckay,

It's a hot mississippi summer saturday

Daddy's on the front porch

With uncle dave drinkin dixie beer

16 years of being bored

My window's open, forget the door

Hope there's some gas in the

Old man's ford cause i'm outta here

I'm outta here, i'm outta here

Maybe i'll go down to biloxi

Or maybe to new orleans

Or maybe hotlanta
