you got your hair permed 
you 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 
40oz. to freedom 
so i take that walk 

and i know that 
oh i'm not goin' back 
oh not going back 
oh god knows 
i'm not going back 
oh not goin' 

(hey man, anyone wanna make a run down to am/pm with me? 
it's like quarter-to right now bro. 
shit, can you like, loan me like, a buck or two dude? 
jai said he was gonna be here around 2:00 i haven't even seen him. 
just totally broke, man owes me twenty bucks man. 
get over it, fuck, sorry 
i'm not dealin' with that fuckin chince no more. 
take those bottles back eric?) 

and you look so fine 
when you lie, it just don't show 
but i know which way the wind blows 
a 40oz. 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 goin' back 
oh, god knows, i'm not going back 
oh, i'm...not goin' 
oh....i'm not goin' back 
oh, i'm not goin' back 
oh, god knows, i'm not going back 
oh, i'm...not goin' 

(there's a whole one left in the freezer...)
