[Verse 1]
Stopped over in Austin
First sold out show and a lone star beer
I kept thinking 'bout Oakland
There's too much change coming over the years
It's 10 o'clock in the morning
And I'm too stressed out, walking down South Congress
I don't know if I got this
I drank too much coffee and I didn't eat breakfast

[Chorus]
Don't tell me how to sing this song
Don't tell me how to sing this song
'Cause I got everything it takes so
Don't try to tell me how to sing it and
Don't tell me how to sing this song

[Verse 2]
Another break from the road
And I'm stuck to a couch in New York City
Been trying to turn my thoughts into gold
'Cause I'm barely getting by on coffee and dumplings
Struck n***, I'm still inside
'Cause I wake three times in the middle of the night
I'm on edge, I'm off beat
I got no bounce in the bottom of my feet 'cause
