[Riff 1]
Well I was driving by myself through Tennessee
and I broke down on the side of the road, look at me
Well I [Riff 2]got a mohawk, it looks pretty sad
and I don't think that they'll think I'm a good man[Fill 1]
[Riff 1]
So I went to a bar, so I could use the phone
The guy just looked at me and said "Hell naw!"
Fuck you, motherfucker!
