Momma ran off with a man from town
Daddy came home, found the note, got drunk and fell down
Jessie was crying, no tears would be saved
I couldn`t take it so I started pining straight for the grave
I should`ve told you that night that we slept in the car
I would`ve told you but I never saw us getting this far
I met a man in a suit, he said he`d give me a job
I wouldn`t have to pay taxes and I wouldn`t have to rob
Man it was easy, all I had to do was drive
I didn`t care what was in the suitcase, it felt good to be alive
I should`ve told you that night that we slept in the car
I would`ve told but I never saw us getting this far
I know I`ve been hard on you baby
Momma should`ve known that you can`t grow up alone
And we will be together someday maybe
There`s no place called home
Something was funny, the whole deal kind of strange
I could hear Momma saying son you`re Daddy ain`t never gonna change
I was down in an instant, just a big flash of light
Undercover lie bleeding, I guess I put up a fight
I should`ve told you that night we made love on the bar
I would`ve told you but I never saw us getting this far
I know I`ve been hard on you baby
Momma should`ve known that you can`t grow up alone
And we will be together someday maybe
There`s no place called home
