Bilingual
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
ย
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?
ย
Oh, my soul is just a big white house
ย
To some punk-ass kids from out of town
ย
Who stay up late and talk real loud
ย
Sometimes I feel like kickin' 'em out
ย
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
ย
But my heart is just a little boy
ย
Holding hands like brand new toys
ย
Drunk on freedom, stuck on choice
ย
Just cooing for the rattle's noise
ย
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"
ย
Oh
ย
Oh
