My old man had a pistol

Never carried around

Never taught me to use it, yeah

No butt on the ground



Images of a family

Somewhere deep in the South

Wish that girl'd taken pictures, yeah

Dragged me out



Stand inside

Knees fall to the ground

I pray take me far away

From everything that I am



Must've lost all my memories

Must've blacked 'em all out

Thank God for the pictures, yeah

Didn't burn in the house



Stand inside

Knees fall to the ground

I pray take me far away

From everything that I am



Escape is the only way out
