Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mother said come home
Father said come home
Sister said come home
So my friends said come home
And I said
[Verse 2]
Let me be, I'm alright
Can't you see I'm just fine?
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway
[Verse 3]
Then I heard a voice
Said, "Son, you have a choice"
I then slapped my face
[Verse 4]
Let me be, I'm okay
I'm awake anyway
It's too bright over there
I can shift, cannot steer
So I drive them away
For a while, then I stay
Little skinny, okay
I'm awake anyway
[Verse 5]
Now I have to go home
Do as when in Rome
[Verse 6]
Let me be, I'm alright
Can't you see I'm just fine?
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway
Let me be, I'm okay
I'm awake anyway
