They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said: No, no, no
Yes, I been black
But when I come back, you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
I won't go, go, go

I'd rather be at home with a Ray
I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway
I didn't get a lot in class
But I know we don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said: No, no, no
Yes, I been black
But when I come back, you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
I won't go, go, go

The man said: Why do you think you here?
I said: I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near
He said: I just think you're depressed
This, me, yeah, baby, and the rest

They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said: No, no, no
Yes, I been black
But when I come back, you'll
Know, know, know

I don't ever want to drink again
I just, oh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend
And it's not just my pride
It's just till these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said: No, no, no
Yes, I been black
But when I come back, you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
I won't go, go, go
