"Back Home" lyrics

I got a call the other day
My cousin said our buddy Jimmy done passed away
He took one too many tryna drown the pain
And they couldn't save him this time
His mama's there on the front porch crying
Daddy smoking cigarettes, he feels like dying
Wants to get away, but he's too drunk to be driving
So he's going out his mind (That's life)

Back home's where trouble calls
Kids are all hooked on Adderall, and
Back home out in them hills
If depression don't get you, then the fentanyl will, man
Everybody's trying not to drown, but
There's a darkness in this town and
Round here, your dreams are as good as gone
I wanna leave and never come back home

I wanna leave and never come back home
I wanna leave and never come back home

Well, Jimmy's girl had a baby last spring
They was planning for the future, he was buying a ring
He was on the right track, tryna get clean
But he couldn't outrun his past
He spent his whole life fighting some demons
Tryna see the light, find something to believe in
But that night, he didn't know he'd be leaving
And never coming back (Like that)

Back home's where trouble calls
Kids are all hooked on Adderall, and
Back home out in them hills
If depression don't get you, then the fentanyl will, man
Everybody's trying not to drown, but
There's a darkness in this town and
Round here, your dreams are as good as gone
I wanna leave and never come back home

I wanna leave and never come back home
I wanna leave and never come back home

Y'all know how the old saying goes
The devil lives on and the good die young
So I pray for every lost soul
And I hope the good Lord watches over us

Back home's where trouble calls
Kids are all hooked on Adderall, and
Back home out in them hills
If depression don't get you, then the fentanyl will, man
Everybody's trying not to drown, but
There's a darkness in this town and
Round here, your dreams are as good as gone
I wanna leave and never come back home

I wanna leave and never come back home
I wanna leave and never come back home

Wanna leave, wanna leave, wanna leave
I wanna leave, wanna leave, wanna leave
