Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]My name's Billy Jo McKay
[C]I just turned 16 yesterd[D]ay
[Em]I'm gonna get [D]the nerve
one day to [C]get outta here
[G]My ma passed on 3 years ago,
[C]they said it was cancer and it took her[Em] slow
And ever since then [D]I've been sayin' no to my
[C]daddy and [Em]my tears[D][C]
Now when you [G]come down our road
You gotta watch [C]the bump right there
across from the garbage [Em]dump
You can find [D]me out back
Jumpin' on the [C]trampoline
And [G]in the springtime
We'll [C]be skippin' scholl
We sneak off to the Cantrell's
swimming [Em]pool
Man, you [Dm]can't get much [D]cooler[C]
than me and my friend Darlene
[Em]Now[D][Dsus4][C]
[Em][D][C]
[G]my grandaddy's
hands are [C]worn [Dsus4]from 50 years of grow[D]in' corn[Em]
Back behind the [D]house where I was
[C]born before he had [G]to sell
And my cousin Eddie,
He got [C]shot in the Walmart parkin' lot
[Em]Yeah this little town's [D]changed [C]a lot,
He said it hurt like hell
[Em][D][C]
[Em][D][C]
[G]My name's Billy Jo McKay
It's [C]a hot Mississippi s[G]ummer
[Em]Saturday
Daddy's on the front [D]porch with Uncle
Dave [C]drinkin' dixie [G]beer
16 years of being [D]bored[C]
My window's open, forget the [Em]door
Hope there's some gas [D]in the
Old man's [C]ford [Em]cause [D]I'm out[C]ta
[Em]here[D]
[C][Em][D]
[C][Em][D]
I'm [C]outta here,
[Em]I'm [D]outt[C]a
[G]here[C]
[G][C]
Maybe I'll go down to [C]biloxi
Or maybe to new [C]orleans
Or maybe hotlanta
