[Intro] Mamas dead and gone Papa aint there Mamas dead and gone Papa dont care [Verse 1] Brother buried his hand Pocket full of shotgun shells Hes just a married man Stuck in that whiskey well [Chorus] Whats left of my backbone Is building this broken home Building it up just to leave City will chain me How could you blame me? Not breaking the law to break free So please take Jackson out of me [Verse 2] Sister lays her head Shes just a lizard queen Shes known too many beds But she sure can sing Your hopeless soul Begging for more time Youd rather die than get old Too bad you aint killing kind [Chorus] Whats left of my backbone Is building this broken home Building it up just to leave City will chain me How could you blame me? Not breaking the law to break free So please take Jackson out of me [Bridge] Well, this country weighs me down Theres nothing left for me in this town These dreams I make before I wake Well, I wont waste no more time, hey [Chorus] Whats left of my backbone Is building this broken home Building it up just to leave City will chain me How could you blame me? Not breaking the law to break free So please take Jackson out of me [Outro] Take Jackson out of me Take Jackson out of me
