[Verse 1]
The way I live
Like an angry child
Who wants a mother
To calm them down
Always in trouble
Waist-deep
Freedom you found
But can’t keep

[Chorus]
Nobody’s looking
When you’re playing in that creek

[Verse 2]
I always had
To earn my whoopings
Life hands ’em out
When you didn’t do nothing

[Chorus]
We all have something
We’re taking out on somebody
When you can’t take anymore
Where does that go?
It flows downhill to me

[Verse 3]
Is all this hard stuff
Behind me?
Can I spend more time now
Not trying?
Always a plan
Just out of reach
Always someone
To keep happy

[Chorus]
I come by it honest
I don’t think too much on it
I got something worth, worth taking out on somebody
But when you can’t take anymore
Where do you go?
You roll straight downhill to mе

[Post-Chorus]
Straight downhill to me
Out here in thе creek
