"Troublemaker" Exerpt, 2nd verse:
I'm growin' out my hair,
I'm movin' up to Cherokee,

And you will go ta bed with me,
'Cause I can't work a job,
Like any other slob,
Punchin' in and punchin' out

Havin' seven ki-ods,
Givin' up and growin' old,
And hopin' there's a God.

And never givin' up

Not a doubletaker.
