Mmm, losing touch in Tennessee Freedom's got the best of me Goddamn my opportunities Goddamn this easy living Gasping for the mountain air Crawling up the campus stairs My throne is an electric chair I'm stunned with indecision ♪ Mmm, pray for upgrades on my soul Tearing through an open road Questioning my moral code And screaming at a windsheild Knowing better all along Knowing all I know is wrong Throwing out my alcohol Am I making this a big deal? ♪ Oh, my soul is just a big white house ♪ To some punk-ass kids from out of town ♪ Who stay up late and talk real loud
Sometimes I feel like kickin' 'em out ♪ Mmm, self-absorbed most of the time Obsessed with sex and suicide The dreams of Texas girls gone by I lie like California Stumbling over all the states Mumbling like a basket case So love is like a rattlesnake Before it bites, it tries to warn you ♪ But my heart is just a little boy ♪ Holding hands like brand new toys
Drunk on freedom, stuck on choice
Just cooing for the rattle's noise ♪ Mmm, out of town and two clicks past I found a western diamondback It blocked my self-destructive pact I laugh, it shakes it's tail Says "If you hurt all of your friends And disappear around the bend You bet you'll come right back again And try to love though you may fail" ♪ Oh ♪ Oh
