Baby cries 'cause she wants to be free Rattle the head, rattle the snake Living life inside an infirmary Rattle the head, rattle the snake Plant your feet on solid ground Stay up late watch the sun going down Driving on 'cause she wants to be free Living her life like the military Rattle the head, rattle the snake There's a roadhouse up a quarter mile Rattle the head, rattle the snake The petrol fumes reek of denial Rattle the head, rattle the snake Got to keep going it won't be long Living it up 'til the moneys all gone Driving on 'cause she wants to be free Living her life like the military Rattle the head, rattle the snake Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye all of you Rattle the head, rattle the snake
