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
