Lyrics:
Jasper Mikels
You lived just up Poverty Ridge
In a skyline trailer
Decorated with shame and dog shit

I got stuck behind you
On my way to school
And I'd fly by on 135
As I rehearsed the Golden Rule

Small towns ain't much for small talk
They know your mother's maiden name
And every traffic stop
People said you weren't all there
And not to stare
So we'd just walk right past ya
Jasper

Your dog rode shotgun
On your rummage sale runs
You were draped in dirt and secondhand shirts
And secondhand buzz

I heard you hit a little girl
And you were never the same
Is that why you drove so slow on the old slab road?
Were you haunted by her face?

Small towns ain't much for small talk
They know your mother's maiden name
And every traffic stop
We all laughed, said you needed a bath
Like you didn't even matter
Jasper

Well, you died alone
They found you after something like fifteen days
Stack of Sunday papers made your run-down neighbor
Call the cops to investigate

Your dog rode shotgun
To the Jackson County pound
To sit and wait for the same old fate
You already found

Small towns ain't much for small talk
They know your mother's maiden name
And every traffic stop
You didn't make the front page or the prayer chain
Or the happy ever after
God knows you must've gone through hell, had a story to tell
But nobody ever asked ya
Wish I'd asked ya
Jasper
