Roy Merritt Poet Lyric

Gonna Take a Powder

GONNA TAKE A POWDER
By Roy Merritt

Four years in a stupor
That’s what I plan to be
Four years in a stupor
Not one, two, or three

I’m gonna hit the bottle
Gonna take all my meds
So I can take powder 
While they’re messin’ with my head

I’m out of here, I’m out of here,
On the first of January this comin’ year

And maybe in twenty-twenty
It’ll be done through and over
And I’ll be glad I was zonked out 
Before I was ever sober

Four years in the dark
With my eyes all wide and red
So I can take a powder
While they’re messin’ with my head

I’m out of here, I’m out of here,
On the first of January this comin’ year

I’ll hold up in my home the whole time
I’ll stock up the booze I need
Get myself all kinds of dope
And I just might succeed

Don’t you dare doubt my word
Or anything I’ve said
I’m gonna take powder
While they’re messin’ with my head

I’m out of here, I’m out of here,
On the first of January this comin’ year

I don’t mine tellin’ you 
This crap has freaked me out
I never thought we’d sink to this
Embrace this stupid lout

Yes I’m greatly disappointed
Many of you I’ve come to dread
So I’m gonna take a powder
While you’re messin’ with my head

I’m out of here, I’m out of here,
On the first of January this comin’ year

I’m out of here, I’m out of here,
On the first of January this comin’ year
On the first of January this comin’ year
