somedays i wish i never had to leave this house again
cause i can't be trustin' myself
with my own money in my hands
come up, just long enough
take a quick peek around

and then go back down there
with a chest full of hair
and tear a big ol' hole
in all the things
that pull me down
i'ma comin' around
i'll tear a big black hole in this town
yeah i'm gonna straighten out
yeah i'm gonna straighten out

well i've been runnin' straight ahead for so long
and it's done me well that time
of course it's also done me wrong
screw up just long enough
take a quick peek around
then go back down there
with a chest full of hair
and tear a big ol' hole
in all the things that pull me down
i'ma comin' around
and tear a big black hole in this town
yeah i'm gonna straighten out
yeah i'm gonna straighten out

well you daddy he don't like me
and your momma just thinks i'm a fool
you say 'i have no future for you'
and recount how i never went back to school
and over the holidays
when we was visitin' your home town
i didn't feel very warm reception
your folks never wished me merry christmas
they pulled me aside and said hey i don't want you comin' around

i'ma comin' around
and tear a big black hole in your town
cause i'm gonna straighten out
yeah i'm gonna straighten out
