Lyrics:

Mama's dead and gone
Papa ain't there
Mama's dead and gone
And Papa don't care

Brother buried his head
Pocket full of shotgun shells
It's just a merry man
Stuck in that whiskey well

What's left of my backbone
Is building this broken home
Building it up
Just to leave me

Said he would chain me
How could you blame me
Not breaking the law
To break free

So please
Take Jackson out of me

Sister lays her head
She's just a little queen
She don't do many things
But she sure can sing

Your hopeless soul
Begging for more time
Grab a dive and get old
Too bad you ain't the killing kind

What's left of my backbone
Is building this broken home
Building it up
Just to leave me

Said he would chain me
How could you blame me
Not breaking the law
To break free

So please
Take Jackson out of me

For this country wears me down
There's nothing left for me in this town
These dreams, I made
Before I went
But I won't waste no more time, hey

What's left of my backbone
Is building this broken home
Building it up
Just to leave me

Said he would chain me
How could you blame me
Not breaking the law
To break free

So please
Take Jackson out of me
Take Jackson out of me
Take Jackson out of me
