Yeah yeah, look down the road
for what my eyes could see
Didn't see nothing belongs to me
I don't want no woman
stay out all night long, yeah yeah
Yeah, I don't want a woman
who stays out all night long
I just want one who knows
the right from wrong
'Cause 'cause 'cause, I
I wouldn't have an old rooster
that he can crow for days, yeah yeah yeah
Now he can crow for days
I just want a little chicken
who can lay an egg
hey Michael
I don't gotta get no higher
blow you people down
I don't gotta get no higher
to blow you's down
I could do it to you
with my chin resting on the ground
Mama, hey papa
don't you that he swore, ah
Papa saw mama
and he swore and swore and swore
I thought you was good
and then it turns out you're just a whore
I look down that road
look as far as my eyes can see
Yeah yeah, looking for my eyes to see
I can't see nothing
that ever belonged to me
Look down that road
for what my eyes could see, yeah yeah yeah
Looking down the road for
what my eyes could see
I didn't see much
that could belong to me
I ain't gotta get no higher
to blow you's down
I don't gotta get higher
to blow you down
I could do it to you's
and do it sitting on the ground
Look down that road
what my eyes could see, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
For what my eyes could see
Didn't see much
that could ever belong to me
