Chokehold

Got a chokehold on the telephone line
Tellin' everyone that I'm fine
College ain't for everyone in the world
I let this one get away
A whole year the I just wasted away
I was layin' there tryin' to sleep in my room

I turned around to pack my bags
Shoot the bird to a couple of fags
Life's too short but never too strong

I don't need this anymore
I let go as I shut the door
One last time
Before I take the chance

Three dollars in my back pocket
People askin' "Have I lost my mind", yeah
Well I pushed them behind me too
If only they knew
That I'm crazy, just like you

90 to nothin', county to county
I'm headed to the OK border on Bounty
There's someone up there that's worth a look

I'm only lookin' for the best
And I'm not gonna settle for less
My heart and a tank of gas was all that it took

Three weeks later it all came together
Had a raw sound but it was all for the better
With our Texoma style

I sat down in my sweats
And said "you're not through yet,
You're going to be here a while."

Three dollars in my back pocket
People askin' "Have I lost my mind", yeah
Well I pushed them behind me too
If only they knew
That I'm crazy, just like you

September finally playin' hard
After I pulled out my ace card
I was finally doin' what I wanted to do

Well I lost a few friends in the whole process
But I met a few people I'll never forget
It's all relative to you

Three dollars in my back pocket
People askin' "Have I lost my mind", yeah
Well I pushed them behind me too
If only they knew
That I'm crazy, just like you!

Just like you
Oh, just like you! Whoa
Yeah!
