Start up the engine and get back home
Hurry go tell mother
Johnny got a gun to shoot a squirrel
And he put down your brother
Daddy ain't no where to be found
And it's getting way past midnight
Mama she's left here to cry alone
While I steal a kiss in the moonlight
This place is slow and I just wanna go find myself in an all night town
It's more than I deserve I know but baby don't let me down
Ddt done poisoned me better than the bugs in the cotton
Now I gotta have another drink to k** all the pains I've gotten
All the crops have gone to seed
The maize is turning to clover
Silo's empty gin's closed down
But some things you never get over
