said he never would leave our little country behind
Ebm
Said the pledge of allegiance, said I’d never smoke weed,
Db
and that my bible I’d read it when I couldn’t decide
Ebm
But the sermons were telling me, Hell was a felony,
Db
and Heaven’s the guilty plea that keeps me alive
Ebm
So my friend went and shot himself, the Jesus he asked for help,
Db
was probably somewhere else said, "Son get in line"
