lyrics

Ever since I was young I’ve been a house afire.
Everything I ever did has been a walk on a tightrope wire.
Nobody could hold me back they finally gave up tryin’.
They tried to sell me the American Dream but baby I wasn’t buyin’.

One day my mama sat me down and said “Son I’m through.”
“You’ve reached critical mass,
I’m tired of watchin’ your ass for you.”
“I’m tired of hearin’ ‘bout all of your messin’ around.”
“You’re over eighteen, so I’m not legally bound.”

CHORUS:
Get up. Get outta this house.
Pack your things and go.
Get up. Get outta this house.
Don’t wanna see your face no more.
I’m cuttin’ you outta my will today.
Don’t wanna hear your name until I pass away.
Get up. Get out. Get outta this house.

I went to my daddy and the old man said to me.
“I had a talk with your mama and this is how it’s gonna be.”
“Well you wrecked the car
and I even caught you stealin’ my money”
“You’re probably havin’ a ball but baby I don’t think it’s so funny.”

(CHORUS)
