Ballad of Billy Jo McKay - Shawn Mullins[00:00:00]
My name's Billy Jo Mckay[00:00:00]
Just turned sixteen yesterday[00:00:03]
Gonna get the nerve one day[00:00:07]
To get outta here[00:00:09]
My mom passed on three years ago they said[00:00:13]
It was cancer and it took her slow[00:00:16]
Ever since then I've been[00:00:19]
Sayin' no to my daddy and my tears[00:00:20]
If you come down our road[00:00:31]
You gotta watch the bump[00:00:32]
Right there across from[00:00:35]
The garbage dump[00:00:36]
You can find me out back[00:00:38]
Jumpin' on the trampoline[00:00:40]
When the springtime[00:00:43]
We'll be skippin school[00:00:44]
We sneak off[00:00:47]
To the Cantrell's swimming pool[00:00:48]
Man you just can't get much cooler[00:00:50]
Me and my friend Darlene yea[00:00:53]
My granddaddy's hands are worn[00:01:09]
From fifty years of growin' corn[00:01:12]
Back behind the house where[00:01:15]
I was born before he had to sell[00:01:17]
My cousin Eddie[00:01:22]
He got shot in the Walmart parkin' lot[00:01:23]
This little town's changed a lot[00:01:28]
He said It hurt like hell[00:01:31]
My name's Billy Jo Mckay[00:01:50]
It's a hot Mississippi summer Saturday[00:01:53]
Daddy's on the farm porch[00:01:58]
With uncle Dave drinkin' Dixie beer[00:01:59]
Sixteen years of being bored[00:02:05]
Window's open forget the door[00:02:08]
Hope there's some gas in the[00:02:11]
Old man's Ford 'cause I'm outta here[00:02:12]
I'm outta of here I'm outta of here[00:02:20]
I'm outta of here I'm outta of here[00:02:33]
See I'm outta of here[00:02:46]
Maybe I'll go down to Biloxi[00:03:04]
Maybe to new Orleans[00:03:07]
Maybe Hotlanta[00:03:10]
