Told Me to Go Home

When I turned around, yeah they shot me down And they told me to go home Oh how I tried to swallow my pride When they told me to go home Oh I'm a keep my head up high When the mister comes to call But when I turned around They shot me down And they told me to go home Rolled up late this morning And the man shouts to me He said What d'ya think you're doing? I said Sorry Mr G. Well I'll admit, my heart ain't in it Like it used to be But these rules and regulations No they don't mean jack to me When I turned around, yeah they shot me down And they told me to go home Oh how I tried to swallow my pride When they told me to go home Oh I'm a keep my head up high When the mister comes to call But when I turned around They shot me down And they told me to go home Playground problems got me vexed Yeah freedom's what I need These do's and don'ts bring out the Disobedience in me Doubts caress my brain As I make my way home Oh you know this girl is stubborn I can make it on my own When I turned around, yeah they shot me down And they told me to go home Oh how I tried to swallow my pride When they told me to go home Oh I'm a keep my head up high When the mister comes to call But when I turned around They shot me down And they told me to go home I won't return, I don't need ya I'll be just fine, come next July Oh they didn't like the way I talk And they told me to go home Oh they reckon that my skirt's too short And they told me to go home Oh I'm a keep my head up high When the mister comes to call But when I turned around They shot me down And they told me to go home But when I turned around They shot me down And they told me to go home!
