I've been beaten, I've been bruised I've been cheated, and I've been used They said that I'm no good Hearts stone cold, black and blue Reminders of the shit they put me through
Its time to show myself the door There's no pretending anymore
Where I'm going I don't know Somewhere down this dusty road Pass the rolling cattle fields the tailor parks, and rusted cotton mills
I'm on a fast ride toward the interstate I'm leaving this place without a minute to waist No looking over my shoulder
Been in prison locked and chained Said you gotta trust and obey But I'm busted loose I'm on the run And I'm screamin at the top of my lungs Thank God I'm free at last
There's no pretending anymore
Daddy's been drinking beer And mama just sits there on the couch poppin' pills to drowned her tears Saying your not worth a damn and your just gonna be another failure Another jailbird like everyone in the family So I hang out in the parking lot; I get stoned with my 2 friends Cause they're the ones who understand the situation that I'm in They feel my pain and man I'm gonna miss em when I'm gone But I'm moving on, If I don't I'll be dead by 21 I'd shoot myself in the head before I wind up like my dad Working a job I hate and taking out my anger on a kid I can hear my mama crying as I cross that county line Cause she knows I'm not looking back I'm leaving all this shit behind I told her I'm a soldier I'm wiser, and I'm older I got my education now I'm out of here it's over
And I'm Heart break runaway I'm on a fast ride toward the interstate I'm leaving this place without a minute to waist No looking over my shoulder
No goodbyes, now I'm gone No goodbyes, now I'm gone No goodbyes, now I'm gone
