Baby Don't Let Me Down - Buddy Miller

Start up the engine and get back home

Hurry go tell mother Johnny got a gun to shoot a squirrel

And he put down your brother

Daddy ain’t no where to be found

And it’s getting way past midnight

Mama she’s left here to cry alone

While I steal a kiss in the moonlight

This place is slow and I just wanna go find myself in an all night town

It’s more than I deserve I know but baby don’t let me down

Ddt done poisoned me better than the bugs in the cotton

Now I gotta have another drink to kill all the pains I’ve gotten

All the crops have gone to seed

The maize is turning to clover

Silo’s empty gin’s closed down

But some things you never get over
