If you save yourself for marriage
You’re a bore
If you don’t save yourself for marriage
You’re a whore-able person
If you won’t have a drink
Then you’re a prude
But they’ll call you a drunk
As soon as you down the first one

If you can’t lose the weight
Then you’re just fat
But if you lose too much
Then you’re on crack
You’re damned if you do
And you’re damned if you don’t
So you might as well just do
Whatever you want
So

Make lots of noise
And kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that’s something you’re into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don’t
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points
Yeah

If you don’t go to church
You’ll go to hell
If you’re the first one
On the front row
You’re self-righteous
Son of a-
Can’t win for losing
You just disappoint ‘em
Just ‘cause you can’t beat ‘em
Don’t mean you should join ‘em

Make lots of noise
And kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that’s something you’re into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don’t
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

Say what you feel
Love who love
‘Cause you just get
so many trips around the sun
Yeah, you only
Only live once

Make lots of noise
And kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that’s what you’re into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don’t
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

Yeah you look real pretty in your glass house
You probably think you’re too good to take the trash out
Are you dumb are you blind ‘Cause it’s a real fine line
Between telling a joke and turning a knife
Don’t wreck my reputation let me wreck my own

Step off, step off
Yeah, you’re getting too close to me
With all your negativity
Just get lost
Just trying to make a little difference here so
Why you gotta interfere?
Just keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks, yes
And when you finally get to the top
Step off

Screwed everybody over in this town
There ain’t nothing between you and the cold hard ground
Keep running your mouth and stretching the truth
You just might find a hole in your pair of shoes
Whatever gets you high will always bring you down

Step off, step off
Yeah, you’re getting too close to me
With all your negativity
Just get lost
Just trying to make a little difference here so
Why you gotta interfere?
Just keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks, yes
And when you finally get to the top
Step off

Sticks and stones may build a throne
But you’ll be up there all alone

Step off, Yeah
Step off
Just keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks, yes
And when you finally get to the top
Step off

I’ve made up my mind and what I’m gonna do
Take it or leave it boy, I’m leavin’ you
You drove me outta’ my mind and I’m halfway to Memphis

Instead of wastin’ my time trying to make you feel good
I’m gonna see what kinda’ life is up in front of my hood
You drove me outta’ my mind and I’m halfway to Memphis

I’m halfway gone but I’m halfway saved
A couple hundred miles from a brand new day
Halfway there is a damn good start
From a worn out mind to a healed-up heart
Thank God I’m finally comin’ to my senses
You drove me outta my mind and I’m halfway to Memphis

I can drive away far and I can run pretty fast
The plan for my future’s puttin’ you in my past
You drove me outta’ my mind and I’m halfway to Memphis
So don’t bother to call and don’t bother to write
Cause’ freedom’s just ahead in the beam of my lights
You drove me outta’ my mind and I’m halfway to Memphis

I’m halfway gone but I’m halfway saved
A couple hundred miles from a brand new day
Halfway there is a damn good start
From a worn out mind to a healed-up heart
Thank God I’m finally comin’ to my senses
You drove me outta my mind and I’m halfway to Memphis

I’m halfway gone but I’m halfway saved
A couple hundred miles from a brand new day
Halfway there is a damn good start
From a worn out mind to a healed-up heart
Thank God I’m finally comin’ to my senses
You drove me outta my mind and I’m halfway to Memphis

I’ve made up my mind and what I’m gonna do
Take it or leave it boy, I’m leavin’ you
