Lyrics (Start at 0:10):

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 your starin’ at the clock
And the answers always waiting at the liquor store, 40 ounces to freedom
So I’ll take that walk

And I know that, oh, I’m not comin’ back
Oh, not going back
Oh, God knows I’m not going back
Oh, I’m not going

“Hey man, does anyone wanna make a run down to AMPM with me?”
“Can you like, loan me like a buck or two, dude?”
“Josh, Josh said he was gonna be here at like two o’clock, I haven’t even seen him”
“Totally broke man”
“Yeah, he owes me 20 bucks, man”
“Get over it, sorry”
“I’m not dealing with that, no more”
“Are those bottles back here?”

And you look so fine, when you lie, it just don’t show
But I know which way the wind blows
A 40 ounce to freedom is the only chance I have
To feel good, even though I feel bad

And I know that oh, I’m not goin’ back
Oh, I’m not going back
Oh, God knows I’m not going back
Oh, I’m not going

Oh, I’m not going back
Oh, I’m not going back
Oh, God knows I’m not going back
Ohh
