Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How many more years

Have I got to let you dog me around?

How many more years

Have I got to let you dog me around?

I'd as soon rather be dead

Sleepin' six feet in the ground

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna fall on my knees

I'm gonna raise up my right hand

I'm gonna fall on my knees

I'm gonna raise up my right hand

Said I'll feel much better, darlin'

If you'd just only understand

[Verse 3]

I'm goin' upstairs

I'm gonna bring back down my clothes

I'm goin' upstairs

I'm gonna bring back down my clothes

Get 'em all

If anybody ask about me

Just tell 'em I walked out door
