Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been fed up for so long I had to write a proper breakup song You've got your head in a hole And your mind in the clouds You have no earthly idea what your talkin' about That's why I'm squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been shushed up for so long Think it's time I head to parts unknown In the blink of a lie I'll be movin' out Somewhere clear out of sight of your mealy mouth Yeah, I'm squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been pent up for so long Ain't nobody givin' this old dog a bone Hey, little lady Now, can't you see That I'll never be your patsy or your property I'm squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been couched up for so long Feel sorta like a stranger in my own home What a sham, what a scam What a full-blown farce What a bottomless pit you call your heart That's why I'm squared up, headlong and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been fed up for so long I had to write a proper breakup song I'll tell ya, I ain't your subject And you ain't my Queen You can go back to your village finish livin' the dream... Me, I'm squared up, I'm headlong, and I'm-a  gettin' gone

Squared Up, Headlong, And Gettin' Gone
Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been fed up for so long I had to write a proper breakup song You've got your head in a hole And your mind in the clouds You have no earthly idea what your talkin' about That's why I'm squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been shushed up for so long Think it's time I head to parts unknown In the blink of a lie I'll be movin' out Somewhere clear out of sight of your mealy mouth Yeah, I'm squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been pent up for so long Ain't nobody givin' this old dog a bone Hey, little lady Now, can't you see That I'll never be your patsy or your property I'm squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been couched up for so long Feel sorta like a stranger in my own home What a sham, what a scam What a full-blown farce What a bottomless pit you call your heart That's why I'm squared up, headlong and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been fed up for so long I had to write a proper breakup song I'll tell ya, I ain't your subject And you ain't my Queen You can go back to your village finish livin' the dream... Me, I'm squared up, I'm headlong, and I'm-a  gettin' gone
This is a song. I wrote it in the aftermath of my recent divorce. Outlaw country/honky tonk romp in the style of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Also, my current farewell to HP. I come, I go. That's just what I do. Always remember- don't write about the pain, write the pain. I'll see all of you fine folks on the other side of the page. VS
