[Part I]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Can't shut me up
I put my faith in a loaded gun
They try to cut me down
I was raised in a dying town, yeah
I miss my drugs (Drugs)
They been my friends since twenty-one
Still, I'm burning out (Out)
You'll probably die before I make you proud, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
All the pages are blank 'til my life goes to shit
I know I do that on purpose just to write again

[Chorus]
Paint my car black (Paint it black)
Burn my last check (Burn it all)
Lose all contact (Gone again)
Fake my own death (** it all)
Make me feel like I'm alive (Yeah; oh)

[Verse 2]
Run, rebel, run
Don't let 'em turn you into what they want
I'm bad to the bone
Two wheels and the body's chrome, yеah
My speech still slurs
I started drinking after I left church
But I still can't sleep
This mеdication doesn't work on me, no

[Chorus]
Paint my car black (Paint it black)
Burn my last check (Burn it all)
Lose all contact (Gone again)
Fake my own death (** it all)
Make me feel like I'm alive (Oh)
Make me feel like I'm alive (Yeah, yeah, oh)

[Part II]

[Chorus]
Oh, take me somewhere cheap
Where the livin' is easy (Uh)
Out of all their reach
Set my spirit free

[Post-Chorus]
I feel confined by societal norms
I was born to walk the line
Survived bein' insecure
But it led to my decline (Uh-uh)

[Verse]
This time, I don't think I'll turn back
This time, I'ma do shit my way
I'm gone by the time they come back
This route is a one-road highway
Same face with a brand-new wardrobe
My old clothes in gasoline
Smoke hand-rolled cigs, I'm a old soul
I feel just like James Dean

[Chorus]
Oh, take me somewhere cheap
Where the livin' is easy
Out of all their reach
Set my spirit free

[Bridge]
What's left behind? What's left behind?
Can't take it with me
Nothing's left behind, nothing's left behind
Can't take it with me

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
