Her daddy used to own the hardware store
But it and him ain't around no more
I don't know the whole story but I've overheard some
I know he's who I got my drinking from

The girls around here want a guy that's rich
Even if I was, I wouldn't be no catch
This ain't where I'll be settlin' down
I aim to be gone when Fall rolls around

Jesus‚ would you save me
I'm going crazy
I need some help getting out of this town
Are there any answers
I'd sure like to hear one
Well if you got some‚ won't you send it on down
While I'm still able to be found

I'm sittin' in the bleachers at the football field
I got a pretty good buzz from a quart I just killed
It's a cold Sunday morning and the church bells ring
I can just about hear all the good folks sing

Jesus‚ would you save me
I'm going crazy
I need some help getting out of this town
Are there any answers
I'd sure like to hear one
Well if you got some, won't you send it on down
While I'm still able to be found
