This Place - Rusty Cage

Deep down in the pines

Where the world has forgotten was still alive

Where the dirt roads twist along

For no more than a mile

Where the old man’s bar marks the center of town

And the county was never dry

Where the people will go

Where the people will stay

Where they live until they die

Well I knew a guy

His name was Ricky McCoy

An ass kicking bass fishing good ol' boy

And he can build a fire in 10 seconds flat

And he can ride a bull even longer than that

Well he was only 15 when he dropped out of school

He said «I never been a genius, but I ain’t no fool

I know what I want, and I’mma get it in life

And I ain’t never gonna leave this place»

He said, Man I ain’t never gonna leave this place

It’s where I’s (was) born, it’s where I’s raised

And when I’m old on my dying bed

I pray this is where I’m gonna lay my head

I got me a town I can call my home

I got me a place I can call my own

I told you once and I’mma say it again

I ain’t never gonna leave this place

Well Jessie was a young girl who grew up fast

She used to make her money lying down on her back

Her daddy drank whiskey till he’s numb in the head

He’d beat her every night until the day he was dead

Well she was just an only child with nowhere to go

In the same square mile where her seeds were

sown

«If there’s more to life, I guess I’ll never know

'Cause I ain’t ever gonna leave this place»

She said, Man I ain’t never gonna leave this place

It’s where I’s (was) born, It’s where I’s raised

And when I’m old on my dying bed

I pray this is where I’m gonna lay my head

I got me a town I can call my home

I got me a place I can call my own

I told you once and I’mma say it again

I ain’t never gonna leave this place

Man I ain’t never gonna leave this place

It’s where I’s (was) born, It’s where I’s raised

And when I’m old on my dying bed

I pray this is where I’m gonna lay my head

I got me a town I can call my home

I got me a place I can call my own

I told you once and I’mma say it again

I ain’t never gonna leave this place

Man I ain’t never gonna leave this place

It’s where I’s (was) born, It’s where I’s raised

And when I’m old on my dying bed

I pray this is where I’m gonna lay my head

I got me a town I can call my home

I got me a place I can call my own

I told you once and I’mma say it again

I ain’t never gonna leave this place
