Lyrics
Mama made Joel
Sell his pony so they could have Something to eat
He'll never be a ranger now
Guess that's why he
Became the death of this town
When he was around 18 or 20
Joel took a girl out
Around back to read her some poetry
She pointed and laughed
Oh she never came back
Only God knows what words she said last
Broken hearted boy
Never got to be a man
The only light he sees
Is the moon while he's crying
Crying on his knees
It's 12 pm the town gathers around
Gonna string up that old boy
Never gonna cut him down
With his last breath Joel cursed the town
Said we're the reason why he's dammed now
Been 4 months since his body laid down
Everything's dying
Nothing growing
People try to skip town but they never make it out
Guess we're all dammed now
Broken hearted boy
Never got to be a man
The only light he sees
Is the moon while he's crying
Crying on his knees
