"Volunteer" lyrics

Daddy worked hard, momma 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

They'd fight about money
They'd fight about fighting
They'd fight about nothin' at all
Car was still running when the deputy found 'em
At the Shell by the Gunbarrel Mall

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

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

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

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

Some nights I dream that I'm in Colorado
Working a cannabis farm
Some nights I dream that the ghost of my momma
Is holding me tight in her arms

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

Take me away from here
Now she's licking the blade of a ten dollar 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
I ain't your volunteer
I ain't your volunteer
