Married a woman I loved in Union,MS but her adult children rebelled against me and her. Criminal acts, vandalism, theft, physical attacks, and a couple death threats at gunpoint convinced me to leave 'that bad luck town'

Don't Take Me Back to Union
by 'Little Charlie' Johnston
October 11,2008

Don't take me back to Union
that's a place I just wanna forget (x2)
got my belly full in Union
belly full of hate and disrespect

Got married there in Union,
Thought I'd be livin' out my dream (x2)
But it turned into a nightmare
The worst I'd ever seen.

That red-neck family
I never did nobody no wrong (x2)
they bout shot me dead in Union
but I'm still livin' to sing this song

(chorus)
Don't take me back to Union
that's a place I just wanna forget.
got my belly full in Union
belly full of hate and disrespect

Bout' lost my life in Union
nearly killed myself as well (x2)
livin' with that red-neck family
was a trip straight into hell

So I did what I had to do
so Little Charlie could survive (x2)
I left Union,Mississippi
might say I took a little drive

I woke up one mornin' in Union
confusion all in my head (x2)
told her I was goin' to McDonald's
went to New Mexico instead

(chorus)
Don't take me back to Union
that's a place I just wanna forget.
got my belly full in Union
belly full of hate and disrespect

So I divorced that redneck family
and now I'm livin' out my dream (x2)
my new baby truly loves me.
and that's all that matters now to me.
