You and me baby got married pretty young
Shoulda run off, but we stayed where we're from
Wasn't a year you had a boy who had my name
When the factory shut, things got tight
We was low on lovin', long on the fightin
Now the only time you reachin', you reachin' for someone to blame
Ain't much for me in Mitchell
Ain't much for me in Mitchell
Ain't much for me in Mitchell now
My brother was moving and it was fast cash
A quick run to Canton, no questions asked
But when those blue lights flashed, it was me who was going down
I did three and a half 'cause I wouldn't roll
I got out, came back home
Found you'd taken the boy, moved with your folks 'cross town
Ain't much for me in Mitchell
There ain't much for me in Mitchell
Ain't much for me in Mitchell now
Ain't much for me in Mitchell
Ain't much for me in Mitchell
Ain't much for me in Mitchell now
I was parked in the street when he ran towards me
Slung him in the cab, strapped him in his seat
I'll be damned if you're taking my boy away
But we hit a roadblock at the county line
I had my hands in the air, still they kept firing
I was covered in blood God, I wish it'd been mine that day
Ain't much for me in Mitchell
Ain't much for me in Mitchell
Ain't much for me in Mitchell now
Ain't much for me in Mitchell
Ain't much for me in Mitchell
Ain't much for me in Mitchell now
