I was born
a couple miles from here
my family rented me this house
so my family keeps me near

from 1909
my family s run the town
you step out of line, poor sap
family council will sit you down

one day I fell in love
and of course we fucked around
the morning she threw up
my options were all laid out

I followed through
and now I got two sons
no peace even when you come
cause they won t let you run

I got dead drunk
and packed up the pickup truck
got way out of town, I thought
but sheriff tracked me down

they dragged me home
and the family sat me down
they kept me cuffed up and they roughed me up and said:
we ll never let you run.
