Got a bottle of liquor but I got no mix so
How am I supposed to get my kicks
I'm gonna have to drink it straight
Gotta pack of smokes but I got no light so
How am I gonna get through the night
I'm gonna have to stay up late

Well I've been down – I didn't feel so great
It wouldn't change me anyway – I don't believe in fate – no more
Sorry mama – mama

My mama said have no regrets
Don't take no drink – no cigarettes
You're gonna have to live it straight

Got a beat-up car but I got no gas so
Now I gonna finish last -I won't get out the gate
Going down this road and I'll be late
Just might work out anyway – I don't believe in fate – no more

No, no, no, no mama no – No, no, no, no mama no
I'm sorry now X 2 – Sorry mama, mama

I'm a natural born liar but I speak the truth ah
Sell you the fountain of youth and three magic beans
Got a sweet young thing but I got no place to
Take her in my warm embrace and live out her dreams
Going down – I wouldn't hesitate – she's bound to leave me anyway
I don't believe in fate – no more
No, no, no, no mama no – No, no, no, no mama no
I'm sorry now X 4 – Sorry mama, mama
