Finished fooling ´round with you.

No more wasting my time, baby, no more standing in line. And

People uptight and everywhere. And I´m shiftin´ on, back to where
I once came from, yeah.

To cry. Wait, well I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues,

You know it ain´t right, people are fighting every place I look, People uptight and everywhere, that´s
Why I´m shiftin´ on,
Back to where I once came from,
