Country Ghetto Lyrics

Jj Grey & Mofro Country Ghetto

I see the look in your eyes I know I'm simple and plain
A country boy can't survive too many ways in your game
So you can say what you will about your helping hand
I know I'll never be more than just your dumb white trash

Life in a country ghetto
Love touches us all yes we're black and we're white
Out here in the cut still living side by side
So never mind what you've seen and just forget what
you've heard
Another ignorant redneck just some Hollywood words

Life in a country ghetto
No I'm not tame
The only voice that speaks for me speaks from this clay
Little boy you ain't never take a dime from the man
Starve to death before you live by a government handout
They call us poverty
Life in a country ghetto
