Lyrics:
They won’t let us keep
The laces in our shoes
They say it’s voluntary but
They won’t let us choose

Looking through the glass
All that I can see
Reflection of the man
Who threw away the key

I’m on my hands and knees
Who’s going to come for me
Tell all the magazines
I’m a celebrity

They got their eyes on me
I’ll never let ‘em see
40 to life I’ll be
Dead by the time I leave

Somebody take me home
They’re trying to bury me
I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee

Somebody take me home
I’m not the enemy
I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee

I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee
I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee

Me and all my friends
We all know the drill
They got to pay the rent
So they try to keep us ill

Must have seen too much
In the blotted ink
Imma shave my head
And wash my secrets down the sink

Checking my face to see
Where they’ve been marking me
40 to life I’ll be
Dead by the time I leave

Somebody take me home
They’re trying to bury me
I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee

Somebody take me home
I’m not the enemy
I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee

I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee
I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee

I won’t live a lie
Live a lie
I won’t live a lie
I won’t trust my eyes
Until I make it to the other side
Come and pick me up
Pick me up
Be my ride or die

Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah yeah yeah yeah

Somebody take me home
They’re trying to bury me
I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee

Somebody take me home
I’m not the enemy
I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee

I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee
I’m going back to those
Beaches in Tennessee
