[Intro]
F      Dm
F      Dm
 
 
[Verse]
F
Daddy worked hard, momma worked harder
Dm
Propped up on pain pills and pride
F
They were just kids when I came in this world
Dm
And I was a kid when they died
 
        F
They'd fight about money
 
They'd fight about fighting
        Dm
They'd fight about nothin' at all
     F
The car was still running when the deputy found 'em
        Dm                          C
At the Shell by the Gunbarrel Mall
 
 
[Chorus]
C                    Gm
Take me away from heeere
                   Dm              C

                     Gm                           Dm    C
Wish I could disappeeear off the edge of the ear-earth
 
 C                   Gm

[Verse]
   F
I cried when I missed 'em
 
Got lost in the system
Dm
Foster homes passed me around
     F
The last one was nice
 
But I ran away twice
          Dm
And they gave up on tracking me down
 
F
I met a girl, said she's from Chattanooga
    Dm
But I think she grew up out West
 F
Can't say I love her, but she's someone to talk to
       Dm
And I like the tattoo on her chest
 
 
[Verse]
   F
I found us a spot in the KOA campground
     Dm
She says she sleeps good in the Scout
       F
But I got in a fight with the neighbor last night
             Dm
And they'll probably be kicking us out
 
 F
Some nights I dream that I'm in Colorado
Dm
Working a cannabis farm
F
Some nights I dream that the ghost of my momma
    Dm                            C
Is holding me tight in her arms
 
 
[Chorus]
C                    Gm7
Take me away from heeere
                   Dm              C

                     Gm                           Dm         C

Now she's licking the blaaade of a ten dollar knife
 
                     Gm                           Dm    C
Wish I could disappeeear off the edge of the ear-earth
