White Trash from Way Back Lyrics by Preston James

White Trash from Way Back

0

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm white trash from way back and I drive a Pontiac
And don't know no good way to act
I'm broken, I'm busted, but I can be trusted
To buff out a solid smokestack
I've never known nothing but the katydids humming
Some sad old mountain sound
And the smell of that rock burning holes
Through my poor hometown
[Chorus]
Where the creek is high and so are the people
It's where I'll die when I'm old and I'm feeble
I'm getting by fine with my white lightning still
'Cause I'm white trash from way back in these Tennesse hills
[Verse 2]
Well, folks either get married or run off to war
But seem that neither quite know what they're doing it for
So we drink ourselves silly or huff ourselves blind
Or we crush little circles to little white lines
[Chorus]
Where the creek is high and so are the people
It's where I'll die when I'm old and I'm feeble
I'm getting by fine with my white lightning still
'Cause I'm white trash from way back in these Tennesse hills
[Chorus]
Where the creek is high and so are the people
It's where I'll die when I'm old and I'm feeble
I'm getting by fine with my white lightning still
'Cause I'm white trash from way back in these Tennesse hills
Yeah, I'm getting by fine with my white lightning still
'Cause I'm white trash from way back in these Tennesse hills
