They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway
I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass
They tried to make me go to Rehab
But I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to Rehab
But I said no, no, no
The man said "Why you think you here?"
I said "I got no idea"
"I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby"
"So I always keep a bottle near"
He said "I just think you're depressed"
"And this me, yeah baby, and the rest"
They tried to make me go to Rehab
But I said no, no, no
Just try to make me go to Rehab
But I said no, no, no
I don't want never drink again
I just, oh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
And have everyone think I'm on the mend
It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried
They tried to make me go to Rehab
But I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to Rehab
But I won't go, go, go
