Song lyrics
You got your hair permed,
you got your red dress on
screaming,
"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 staring at the clock.
And the answer's always waiting
at the liquor store.
40 oz. to freedom so I take that walk.

And I know that,
oooooooooooooooo
I'm not going back.
OOOOOOOOOh
I'm not going back.
Oh Oh
God knows, I'm not going back!
oooooooooooooooo
not going, going..........

(hear party (people talking) in background)

And you look so fine.
When you lie it just dont show,
but i know which way the wind blows.
A 40 oz. to freedom is the only chance i have
to feel good even though I feel bad.

And i know that,
oooooooooooooooo
I'm not going back.
OOOOOOOOOh
I'm not going back.
Oh Oh
God knows, I''m not going back!
oooooooooooooooo
not going, going..........

oooooooooooooooo
I'm not going back.
OOOOOOOOOh
I'm not going back.
Oh Oh
God knows i'm not going back!
Ooooooooo........

This is one of my favorite Sublime songs. I honestly don't think there's a single song they have that I don't like. But, I do have a favorite list lol.

To the idiot down there (years ago) that was posting about better songs, I've Seen Better Days 1. isn't the title of the song (Better Days is the actual title) . 2. It's not even a Sublime song. It's Citizen King. If you're gonna hate, do it right.

"A 40 oz. to freedom is the only chance i have
to feel good even though I feel bad." i love this song because it's true. getting drunk sometimes is the only thing that can make someone momentarily feel better. i also like the line "but life is one big question when you're staring at the clock" it's true too.

Honestly I can't believe there's only 10 comments for this song. Pathetic when Sublime listeners have disappeared 10 fold. Rock on.

i hope you know "hope" is a cover. most of you know nothing about sublime. "lovin' is what i got" isn't even the title of that song my friend. buy a record for me and stop downloading sublime from kazaa.

Its an OK song by them, if you want some better songs, check out "Lovin' is what I got", "I've Seen Better Days", "Santeria", or "Wrong Way".
