CALE SAMPSON - Fed Up lyrics

rate me

If you're Fed Up (Fed Up), if you're Fed Up

If you're Fed Up (Right Now)

It's Time to Get Up (Get Up), time to Get Up

Time to Get Up (Right Now)

I used to work in a factory, did the night shift

But didn't want the rest of my life to be like this

A dead end job, knew there was more

Wanted to make a name for myself in this world

And my girl, she worked at the local diner

Dreaming of leaving that town behind her

Tired of always dealing with them truck drivers

Ain't the type to wait tables all of her life

So one night, we decided to just up and leave

I took two handguns for the road with me

Met her at the restaurant around three

And told them customers that they all better freeze

"We don't wanna hurt no one, just let us be! "

"This place is like a prison, were just trying to get free! "

I said Babe, "why don't you empty out that register drawer! "

Then told her boss were gonna need the keys to his Ford

We kept driving threw one state to the next it

Went Oklahoma, Arkansas, then Texas

Planned on getting married, that was our goal

But not until we crossed the border to Mexico

A couple of outlaws in love on the run

By now I had gave my baby one of those guns

Had to hold up gas stations or grocery stores

Whenever money got low, just to get us some more

Figured we try to pull off one last score

Ran right into that bank and yelled "Get down on the floor! "

"We don't want to hurt y'all, everybody be calm! "

"Just don't try to be a hero, and you won't get harmed! "

I said Babe, "why don't you help the manager over there! "

"Put a little bit of money in this bag right here! "

But this time, as were escaping out the front door

I turned my back, heard the sound of a Forty-four

And a bullet grazed me, right in the side of the neck

I fell, then the bastard walked to me and he said

"You gonna die now, and I'll take that money to start! "

My girl saved me, she shot him in the back of his heart

Had to hotwire the first automobile in sight

Now were wanted for murder, we got away with that heist

And you could hear a siren, coming up from behind

My neck stung a bit, but I was still okay to drive

Hit the gas, and we flew down that country road

The cop right on our tail, shot our back window

I said Babe take the wheel, hung out the side and fired

I stopped that damn cop, cause' I shot out his tires

Just when it looked like we were in the clear

Suddenly, ten more of them police cars appeared

And they had us surrounded, the sheriff yelled

"Put your hands where I can see them, y'all are going to jail! "

But we decided never to be locked in a cell

Separated from each other, we'd be in a living hell

I said Babe, "you know I love you more than life itself! "

"Now there's no way, we'll be able to take all of them out! "

She said "this world is a prison, we just can't be! "

"But together is the only time I ever feel free! "

I looked in her eyes, then I said I agree

We put the guns to our heads, said on the count of three
