lyrics

I heard a rumor come through the vine
You fell off the wagon, had a real rough time
Smokin' that shit, you gonna kill yourself
Well, it ain't my fault that you got nothing else

Hide it from your family, hide it from your kin
You score twenty bucks and run to do it again
You think I can save you? That's just a dream
I ain't playin' knight to a white trash queen

You know it's a shame 'bout the world we're in
Once you get started you just can't win
Once you get in you can't get out
It's the other side of the American South

Doin' my best to get above this life
It chases me down no matter how hard I try
Got a past full of assholes, dope fiends and whores
And I can't live in that world no more

Just heard tell of double homicide
Baby found in its mama's arms crying
These the kind of people you been hanging around?
Well it's a matter of time 'til you can't be found

You know it's a shame 'bout the world we're in
Once you get started you just can't win
Once you get in you can't get out
It's the other side of the American South

If this is the life that you wanna live
One piece of advice is all I got to give
Keep your guard up and get yourself a gun
And don't tell no one 'bout the things you've done

You know it's a shame 'bout the world we're in
Once you get started you just can't win
Once you get in you can't get out
It's the other side of the American South
