My Own

Lyrics
[Intro: Upchurch] Yeah I call them all my own I call them my own I call them my own I call them my own [Verse 1: Upchurch] The kids in the trailer park, after dark Underneath the streetlight shootin' some basketball Momma, daddy in the house smokin' Marlboro reds 'Til the damn nicotine shows up on the wall Daddy lookin' drunk as a skunk, stumblin' some Catchin' a buzz, just fightin' the fuzz, like what's up Some of these kids never seen love So they search through the soundwaves in them fuckin' iPhone buds I got a couple neurotic skins in my town that I check on Make sure that they been fed, got a pillow to rest on Some money in their pocket and some wheels to get gone You're Big Brother Church I ain't better than no one I live by the Bible but also the gun I was made in the south and I'm reppin' the mud These folks in my family don't mess with them none We bleedin' the same except whiskey sent blood [Chorus: Upchurch] Knee deep in muddy water fist full of red clay Soul full of Dixieland and a voice in my place These fields, these hills, these hollows, these folks Yeah I call them all my own I call them my own I call them my own I call them my own [Verse 2: Demun Jones] Everybody wanted to move out Graduate high school, pack a bag and peace out But little was it known that you're heart stays home Draw a plan in my roots I've grown Rode with Lick for a moment, then I got my own Now I'm on stage missin' brick, block, and stone I hope it was worth the miles But it all makes sense when I see their little smiles When I hear 'em brag about bein' from JC I wonder if I made a impact Will they grow when they grown up, accumulate stuff Will they realize the truth and give back There can only be one spot on the map where you're from When the game stops workin' and you still belong You're name means something forever in Jones County And that's the people I'm callin' my own [Chorus: Upchurch] Knee deep in muddy water fist full of red clay Soul full of Dixieland and a voice in my place These fields, these hills, these hollows, these folks Yeah I call them all my own I call them my own I call them my own I call them my own
