Way before platinum there was a place we to go and for hours at a time on a country road is troubling, you can let it go I get out of the car and walk through it, visit the and talk to it Simply saying, "Mr. water, is it that you running from?" the bird in the tree, "What is it that you humming for?" Now knowing (Why the Caged Sings) is wishing to be free Reminded myself of and it's hold on me Touring, the children, women, resistance Religion means so much to me, the church see enough of me This way, that way, bending corners to get away Sometimes you to see a storm to appreciate a pretty day BACK in the car now, headed for the liquor God, what a vivid scene, digging I just seen Rolled up another one, still in a though Gassed up at the Mini-Mart, my on the country roads

Listen, this that's willing to catch a court case your wig apart quicker than the divorce rate Niggaz show out, go wild in the corpse out in the news and I don't mean the sports page Get drowned in North Lake, get found in horse cave Fool, get down, the crazy! Lil' Stille's ambition, itching to fill my position Replace me, but by the Lord's still existing be in depression La trill is missing, cousins in prison Heard Little Ricky was snitching, now a born-again Christian Always had my suspicions, our teens with bad Family members gone on a mission, we miss 'em See you can travel straight through two coasts State to state, navigate this globe In search of a plate full of for the soul I could it when the smoke hit my nose On a called country roads
