I give my all and you take it back
It just don't make no sense
Wonder why I'm on the edge
It's you that makes me tense
It all comes down to decency
A man's gotta have some pride
When I try to lend a hand you take me for a ride

Your thoughts are deep and your heart small
You confuse your own self
Tear apart all the good in life and hide it on the shelf
Smile is just a burden and you forgotten what it means
Shelter that took long to build and break it at the scenes

'Cause you're mean, mean, mean, just plain evil
Well, you're mean, mean, mean and my cards are on the table
Well, I'm moving on, I'm stepping out, I'm finally on my way
Diesel fueled, my bags are packed, this time I'm going to stay

Well, it's not my fault is just who you are but you're driving me insane
The life he lives is one way road without a passing lane
Expectancy is a luxury, is something that you earn
But that my man, I know you never learned, learned, learned

Well, I'm just out of Louisiana and I'm feeling like myself
A pack of smokes, some Jerry Reed and whisky for my health
Pulled up to my motel room and much to my surprise
There you are standing there with evil in your eyes

You're angry and you're bitter and you're looking for a fight
Sun is burning through you eyes, you've never seen the light
I feel sorry for you darling, there's so much we could have done
Ain't got time to simply chat with you, it's time to have some fun

Cause you're mean, mean, mean, just plain evil
You're mean, mean, mean and my cards are on the table
Well, I'm moving on, I'm stepping out and I'm finally on my way
Diesel fueled, my bags are packed, this time I'm going to stay
Diesel fueled, my bags are packed, this time I'm going to stay
Diesel fueled, my bags are packed, I'm gone
