I got a plan to get us out of here:

I been working at the convenience store,

Wont't have to drive too far

Just 'cross the border and into the city,

And finally see what it means to be living.

Verse 3

You see my old man's got a problem:

He live with the bottle, thats the way it is.

He says his body's too old for working,

His body's too young to look like his.

My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,

I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."

So I quit school and that's what I did.

Intro

You got a fast car

And we go cruising to entertain ourelves;

you still ain't fot a job

And work in a market as a checkout girl.
