| You’ve got your hair permed.
|
| You’ve got your red dress on.
|
| Screamin', «that second gear was such a turn on.»
|
| And the fog forming on my window,
|
| Tells me that the morning’s here.
|
| And you’ll be gone before too long.
|
| Who taught you those new tricks?
|
| Damn; |
| I shouldn’t start that talk.
|
| But life is one big question,
|
| When you’re starin' at the clock.
|
| And the answer’s always waiting,
|
| At the liquor store,
|
| Forty-Ounce to Freedom; |
| so I take that walk.
|
| And I know that,
|
| Ooh, I’m not going back.
|
| Oh, I’m not going back.
|
| Oh, lord knows, I’m not going back.
|
| Ooh, I’m not going, not going, not going.
|
| And you look so fine,
|
| When you lie it just don’t show.
|
| I know which way the wind blows.
|
| A Forty-Ounce to Freedom is the only chance I have,
|
| To feel good; |
| even though I feel bad.
|
| And I know that,
|
| Ooh, I’m not going back.
|
| Oh Oh, I’m not going back.
|
| Oh, lord knows, I’m not going back.
|
| Ooh, I’m not going, not going, not going.
|
| And I know that,
|
| Ooh, I’m not going back.
|
| Oh, oh, I’m not going back.
|
| Oh, lord knows, I’m not going back.
|
| Ooh… |
