Gonna have to take my self a mandatory vacation
Running out of time luck money and gin
The city of sin that was the city I was in
Cops where on my tail I might've landed in jail
It didn't matter much cause I was living in hell
And then the words my daddy once said to me
Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free
It's a big wild world and it'll knock you around
It's a big wild world and it'll try to bring you down
It's a big wild world but it can't get to you
You got time and good friends on your side you can't lose
I know I called you angel and your name is lollita
I need a shot of tequila and a pint of abitta
I need a walker a stretcher I need an ambulance
I need your girlfriend to come over to my table and dance
I need a bottle of good whiskey and I'll go with the flow
But now I can't remember what happened an hour a go
And then the words my daddy once said to me
Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free
Now I'm a stranger in danger and I'm dangerously close
To being dangerously strange and strangerously dosed
I need a towel a haircut a shave and a smoke
I need a cafe please you me poorboy I need a little bourbon and cocaine
I turned to coco and I said it's getting late
I gotta find me some salvation before it's too damn late
We picked up snizz spooky tooth and the chops
Headed down to chopatoules singing no stops for pops
Ended up at Miss Mays for three days
And when we came to our senses we thought we'd change our ways
And then the words my daddy once said to me
Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free
With all the booze beer women and the heavy medication Gonna have to take my self a mandatory vacation Running out of time luck money and gin The city of sin that was the city I was in Cops where on my tail I might've landed in jail It didn't matter much cause I was living in hell And then the words my daddy once said to me Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free It's a big wild world and it'll knock you around It's a big wild world and it'll try to bring you down It's a big wild world but it can't get to you You got time and good friends on your side you can't lose I know I called you angel and your name is lollita I need a shot of tequila and a pint of abitta I need a walker a stretcher I need an ambulance I need your girlfriend to come over to my table and dance I need a bottle of good whiskey and I'll go with the flow But now I can't remember what happened an hour a go And then the words my daddy once said to me Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free Now I'm a stranger in danger and I'm dangerously close To being dangerously strange and strangerously dosed I need a towel a haircut a shave and a smoke I need a cafe please you me poorboy I need a little bourbon and cocaine I turned to coco and I said it's getting late I gotta find me some salvation before it's too damn late We picked up snizz spooky tooth and the chops Headed down to chopatoules singing no stops for pops Ended up at Miss Mays for three days And when we came to our senses we thought we'd change our ways And then the words my daddy once said to me Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free Explain Request ×
