Ballad Of Billy Jo Mckay Lyrics

    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
