Volunteer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Daddy worked hard, mama worked harder Propped up on pain pills and pride They were just kids when I came in this world And I was a kid when they died [Verse 2] They'd fight about money, they'd fight about fighting They'd fight about nothing at all The car was still running when the deputy found 'em At the Shell by the Gunbarrel Mall [Chorus 1] Take me away from here No, I never belonged to this place Wish I could disappear off the edge of the earth Take me away from here No, I don't wanna fight for the rest of my life I ain't your volunteer [Verse 3] I cried when I missed 'em, got lost in the system Foster homes passed me around The last one was nice but I ran away twice And they gave up on tracking me down [Verse 4] I met a girl, said she's from Chattanooga But I think she grew up out west Can't say I love her but she's someone to talk to And I like the tattoo on her chest [Verse 5] I found us a spot in the KOA campground She says she sleeps good in the Scout But I got in a fight with the neighbor last night And they'll probably be kicking us out [Verse 6] Some nights I dream that I'm in Colorado Working a cannabis farm Some nights I dream that the ghost of my mama Is holding me tight in her arms [Chorus 1] Take me away from here No, I never belonged to this place Wish I could disappear off the edge of the earth someday Take me away from here No, I don't wanna fight for the rest of my life I ain't your volunteer [Chorus 2] Take me away from here Now she's licking the blade of a $10 knife Wish I could disappear off the edge of the earth Take me away from here I'm nobody's man and she's nobody's wife I ain't your volunteer [Refrain] I ain't your volunteer I ain't your volunteer
