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 gonna 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
I'ma shave my head and wash my secrets down the sink

Checking my face to see
Where they've been mocking 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

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
