Junkyard

Zac Brown Band

I have lived in a junkyard
Where the weeds eat up the rain
If you get anything there even out of place
You know there's hell to pay

And he said You're as sick as you are lovely
And in need of a hand
He tells me You are never worthy
But I was just a child you see
That's my reality

He had a sick little girl dirty and harmed
With a breast plate made of metal
She drives all day in a rusty Buick
And her feet don't reach the pedals

Got a jar of flies a father's disguise
Where his heart should be
A mouth is sown together
She screams with those eyes
She screams with those eyes

She's as sick as she is lovely
And in need of my hand
He tells her You are never worthy
She was all alone you see
That was her reality

Well I've shoulda been sleepin' shoulda been dreamin'
But I wake up to broken glass
There'll be one more empty desk in my homeroom class
I got an old bone pocket knife tight in my right hand
To save my poor mother from the junkyard man

And I say He's as sick as he is lovely
And in need of a hand
He will know he's not worthy
When he dies alone you'll see
That's his reality

I'm not sick I am lovely
And hatred is the curse of man
And I will not feel unworthy
Cause I've washed my hands you see
That's my reality yeah
