Ballad of Billy Jo McKay - Shawn Mullins

My name's Billy Jo Mckay

Just turned sixteen yesterday

Gonna get the nerve one day

To get outta here

My mom passed on three years ago they said

It was cancer and it took her slow

Ever since then I've been

Sayin' no to my daddy and my tears

If 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

When the springtime

We'll be skippin school

We sneak off

To the Cantrell's swimming pool

Man you just can't get much cooler

Me and my friend Darlene yea

My granddaddy's hands are worn

From fifty years of growin' corn

Back behind the house where

I was born before he had to sell

My cousin Eddie

He got shot in the Walmart parkin' lot

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 farm porch

With uncle Dave drinkin' Dixie beer

Sixteen years of being bored

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 of here I'm outta of here

I'm outta of here I'm outta of here

See I'm outta of here

Maybe I'll go down to Biloxi

Maybe to new Orleans

Maybe Hotlanta
