C. A. Burkett Poet Lyric

Out the Door

I’m working away
You’re waving at babes
How’d it come about
Don’t know don’t care ‘cause now I’m out

Don’t ask me to stay, stay stay
I’m going away, hey hey
Don’t want you anymore, no more
‘Cause I’m out the door, yeah door

We made some history 
Then you thought you’d diss me
So I found my boots*
And I’m on the move

Don’t ask me to stay, stay stay
I’m going away, hey hey
Don’t want you anymore, no more
‘Cause I’m out the door, yeah door

I’m not gonna pay
Your way when you play
You claim to be strapped
But I know you’re out with your gals

Don’t ask me to stay, stay stay
I’m going away, hey hey
Don’t want you anymore, no more
‘Cause I’m out the door, yeah door 

I’m out of this, yes!**
Save your words and your breath
I can no longer hear
Thought I made that clear 

Don’t ask me to stay, stay stay
I’m going away, hey hey
Don’t want you anymore, no more 
‘Cause I’m out the door, yeah door
Yeah***

*a few dance steps here is acceptable ;)
**do the fist back pump when you sing “yes!”
***breathe a sigh of relief, lol :) Whew, glad we escaped that one
