Now, for something quite different from the usual fare of late…the lyrics go like this…deep breath…

“I’m a pimp, you can check my stats

And roll in a Fleetwood, that’s how I mack

I rock all the tracks, so the world knows

I love all the girls, smack all the hoes

Show love to those who come real with it

Life’s a bitch, but I deal with it

I’m in it to win it like Yzerman

Could drink about 15 Heinekens

I’m not born again, but if I was

I’d ask to come back with a little more love

Well I’m puffing a Winston, drinking a four-oh

Kid Rock, and I’ma let you know

I’ve been sitting here just wasting time

Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

I’ve been sitting here just wasting time

Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

It’s been a couple of months in this smokey room

Eating ‘shrooms drinking Boone’s, writing tunes

And hoping to get one of these motherfucking songs to hit

A little bit of love, that’s all I need

A little inspiration and a bag of weed

A seed to plant so my tree can grow

You know I left my girl ’cause I need that hold up

Wait a minute I’m about to flow

Like a breeze through the trees you can watch me blow

Puffing a Winston, drinking a four-oh

Kid Rock and I’ma let you know

I’ve been sitting here just wasting time

Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

I’ve been sitting here just wasting time

Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Free my mind

I ain’t no rough guy, ain’t no tough guy

Don’t get out much and don’t dress up fly

A pawn in the game that’s all I am

Giving all my ducats to Uncle Sam

Fuck it, I’m free to do what I please little lady

I was born at night, but not last night baby

I’ve been around, seen some things

I slept in dumpsters, got high with kings

I don’t bring much, ain’t gotta lot to say

But I got more time than Morris Day

Puffing a Winston drinking a four-oh

Kid Rock and I’ma let you know

I’ve been sitting here just wasting time

Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

I’ve been sitting here just wasting time

Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

(Smoking and drinking)

I’ve been sitting here just wasting time

Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

(Trying to free my mind)

I’ve been sitting here just wasting time

Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

Wasting my time

Hey, I’m smoking

Hey, I’m drinking

Trying to free my mind

I’ve been sitting here just wasting time

Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind”
