And I sing songs about the past
How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass
F C
Cause I didn't care about going to school

My mother nearly cried when I had told her that I wanted to go
C
Just to prove them wrong

Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll be and I'll beg.
I'm down on my knees.
Momma oh momma let me please leave.

This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll beg.
