"Woodruff City Limit" lyrics

I was born in a milltown in 1983
Same as those with my name that came before me
Learned about pain before I learned to speak
Watched my mama cryin' every night until we'd flee

Woodruff City limit
I'll be there in a minute
How many horses does this thing got in it
Got somewhere to be
Say goodbye to my father
I was a good southern prodigal daughter
Tryna forget everything he taught us
Except the old Gibson he bought for me
And I know I wouldn't be the same if I got stuck in it
Woodruff City limit

Born under a bad sign in '58
Daredevil boy patched up with a metal plate
Kept him alive, but he couldn't keep it straight
He was a good man with a darkside
That I grew to hate

Woodruff City limit
I'll be there in a minute
How many horses does this thing got in it
Got somewhere to be
Say goodbye to my father
I was a good southern prodigal daughter
Tryna forget everything he taught her
Except the old Gibson he bought for me
And I know he wouldn't be the same if he wasn't stuck in it
Woodruff City limit

Every time he called you dreaded picking up the phone
Were there voices in his head or was he sitting there all alone
Maybe I'm just getting things all wrong
But then I heard my sister's voice saying he's gone

Woodruff City limit
I'll be there in a minute
How many horses does this thing got in it
Got somewhere to be
Say goodbye to my father
I was a good southern prodigal daughter
Tryna forget everything he taught her
Except the old Gibson he bought for me
And I wonder what it's like for him now that he's no longer in it
Bet he's headed up to the sky saying
"Good riddance Woodruff City limit"
