They killed my brother in a poker game Damn this town, I'm leaving Daddy stayed drunk and he died insane Damn this town, I'm leaving Momma had to work, barely raised the kids Damn this town, I'm leaving I ain't gonna tell you what her youngest boy did Damn this town, I'm leaving [Chorus:] Damn this town, I mean it this time Damn this town, I made up my mind Damn this town, damn this town I got a sister who's a thief and she's filled with hate Now she's got a job working for the State Another brother just got out of the Florida Pen Wears a bracelet on his ankle so they know where he's been [Chorus] A couple of sisters made it out all right A brother's in the army fighting for his life There must be some kind of reckoning A righteous judgment for all these things That's all I'm gonna say about my family Damn this town, I'm leaving But maybe you'd like to know a little about me Damn this town, I'm leaving I'm 58 years old, still live at home like a kid Damn this town, I'm leaving Now I can't help my momma tell you what her youngest boy did Damn this town, I'm leaving
