Tom : E
E
Momma's dead and gone
Papa ain't there
Momma's dead and gone
And Papa don't care
E A E A E A E

[Verse]
E
Brother buried his head
A E
Pocket full of shotgun shells
A E
It's just a merry man
A E A
Stuck in that whiskey well

[Chorus]
G
What's left of my backbone
A
Is building this broken home
E D
Building it up just to leave
G
Said he could change me
A
How could you blame me
E D
Not breaking the law to break free
G A E
So please, take Jackson out of me

[Verse]
E
Sister lays her head
A E
She's just a little queen
A E
She don't do many things
A E
But she sure can sing
A E
Your hopeless soul
A E
Begging for more time
A E
Grab a dive and get old
A E A
Too bad you ain't the killing kind

[Chorus]
G
What's left of my backbone

[Bridge]
E B A
For this country weighs me down
E B A
There's nothing left for me in this town
E B A
These dreams I made before I went
E B A
For I won't waste no more time, yeah!

[Chorus]
G
What's left of my backbone

[Outro]
E A E
Take Jackson out of me
