Lyrics
I knew this good ole boy
Worked real hard all his life
Had a wife and family
Bought them a house king size
One day his found his wife cheating
And his kids were doing drugs
He just couldn?t stand it no more
He decided to pull the plug
He left them a note said honey
I can?t feed y?all money any more
And slipped out the back door
Never been off to France
Never been out of this state
I know what time the sun comes up
When it sets I know how late
I?ve been to places
That nobody knows in this land
So I don?t care about where you?ve been
Being me makes me a free man
If I had a big house pretty wife
Money in the bank you know what I?d do
Slip out the back door
Sometimes I go off for days and days
Never get missed
Some people are late for five minutes
Their whole world gets very pissed
You stand in line to buy your wine
While looking at your watch
You hear I?ll help the next in line
You move up just a notch
If I had a big car yacht
And a brand new gold watch
You know what I?d do
Slip out the back door
SOLO
I live in a very small place
Right on the river bank
I catch me some fish when I need to
This is a very small fish tank
I like things very simple
You might like simple too
The difference between me and you
What I like is what I do
But if you ever get nervous, anxious or other wise in despair
Just do what I do
Just slip out the back door
SOLO OUT
