B
My name's Billy Jo McKay,
E
I just turned 16 yesterday
G#m F#
I’m gonna’ get the nerve one day
E
to get outta’ here
B
My ma passed on 3 years ago,
E
they said it was cancer and it took her slow
G#m F#
and ever since then I’ve been
E G#m F# E (x2)
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
G#m F# E x2
B
Now my granddaddy’s hands are worn
E
from 50 years of growin’ corn
G#m F#
back behind the house where
E
I was born before he had to sell
And my cousin Eddie he got shot
in the Wal-Mart parkin’ lot
yeah this little town's changed a lot,
he said it hurt like hell
Gm# F# E x2
B
My name's Billy Jo McKay,
E
it's a hot Mississippi summer Saturday
G#m F#
Daddy's on the front porch
E
with uncle Dave drinkin’ Dixie beer
16 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
Gm# F# E
I’m outta’ here
E -
Maybe I’ll go down to Biloxi
Or maybe to new Orleans
Maybe to hot ‘tlanta
