White Trash Lyrics

Between the tralier and the dog
And the cars on blocks and the hogs
Out in the front yard
Where us kids played
No grass
Yeah, it was mama
In her house shoes
Smokin' salem lights with a tattoo
You add it all up
That's why they call us white trash
Well if they had their way,
They'd have thrown us away
Like a empty bottle of wine
We belong sacked up
Stacked up the curb
In their mind
And their daddy's didnt want us
Hanging round their girls
And they told every son they had
Don't even think about it
Taking out white trash
Now between her beamer and her Ray Bans
And her spring break seaside tan
Hell i could see she
Was on her own side of the tracks
Oh you know i knew her from school
Yeah she ran with the boys that were cool
Well as far as i knew she wanted nothing to do
With white trash
Well if they'd had their way
They'd have thrown us away
Like an empty bottle of wine
We belong sacked up
Stacked on the curb
In their mind
And theirs daddy's didn't want us
Hanging 'round their girls
And they told every son they had
Don't even think about it
Taking out white trash
That girl is my baby now
We live right here in this town
Got a bunch of kids running around
Ain't it funny how it all turned out?
Well if they had their way
They'd thrown us away
Like an empty bottle of wine
We belong sacked up
Stacked on the curb
In their mind
And their daddy's didnt want us
Hanging 'round their girls
And they whipped their boy's white ass
All for even thinking 'bout taking white trash
Thank god I know something 'bout
Running 'round with white trash

The Missouri-born Chris Janson has electrified Nashville's country music scene. In fact, it only took two days at a local Nashville bar to incite a wave of interest from country music's biggest record labels. It could be his intense and vocally stunning performances, his remarkable ability to play the harmonica, or the depth of his songs, but there is something remarkable about this 21 year-old phenomenon. Chris' budding music career has even taken him to the big screen, when legendary film director Johnathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, Stop Making Sense) invited him to participate in "Heart of Gold" a documentary capturing Neil Young's 2-night performance at the Historic Ryman Auditorium. Asked to describe his sound, Chris replies that it combines "elements of rock & roll, folk, blues, roots music, and vintage country." Nashville's critics been buzzing with excitement about this emerging star, and have even likened him to a combination of Mick Jagger and Hank Williams Sr. Chris readily acknowledges his influences, but he has a confidence in his identity that transcends his age. "I want to sound like Chris Janson," he says, "It's just what you see on stage, that's what you'll get on my record. I'm not afraid to push the limits. I don't have a set list at my shows, I just play songs. It's all about soul and feel". And as all great country music stars and rock & roll legends are marked by their authenticity and originality, Chris Janson is on that same path toward greatness. Read more on Last.fm.
