lyrics

HOOKAH
So they’re calling me up, yeah I got to leave. Yeah they’re shipping me out, but I got to believe.*I got a hookah in my Hummer, and I drive real mean.*I’m gonna change this ugly scene. I don’t want no free cell phone, don’t want no video call. I don’t want to hear from you Ma, don’t make this engine stall. *and I drive real slow. *and that’s the way I want to go. (oh... no...) Don’t let this dust storm jam this radio. Yeah we welded more scrap steel, everywhere but down below. *and I drive real tuff. *I don’t know if we’re enough, troops. (know... no...) Now they’re saying we can’t stop gonna be here a long long time. Yeah I’d like to be with you but a leave would cloud my mind. *and I got a job to do. *and it’s all red white and blue. (no...) Drive fast drive fast screams the radio...
