My name's Billy Jo Mckay I just turned sixteen yesterday I'm gonna get the nerve one day To get outta here My ma passed on three 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' school We sneak off To the Cantrell's swimming pool Man, you can't get much cooler Than me and my friend Darlene Now my grandaddy's hands are worn From fifty 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 parking 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 Sixteen 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 Atlanta
