I'd like to say it was perfect

Growing up was a fairytale

But Hollywood don't make no movies

About a house up on wheels down a dirt road, Mississippi

(verse)
D  
Well the man my mama married
D  
Had a mean streak in his blood
D  
And when he took to drinking
D  
He'd take it out on us
D                            G  
And I could hear my mama crying
                                                        D  
That made it hard to sleep

That's where I became a man
                                        D  
Long before my time
G                                              C                         G  
And since I left I ain't been back
                                                     A  
But I go back in my mind
(verse)
                D  
Thank God for Buford Bailey
D  
He had a pond he'd let me fish
D  
That's where I'd run off to
D  
Every chance I'd get
                                G  
And I would pray that God was listening
                                                        D  
And He'd come rescue me

Then one day, my uncle pulled up in a pickup truck
F#m                                            Em  
Loaded up everything
