Lyrics:

Instead of stepping outside to get out of hazy
Instead of beating up brains ,train to be lazy
Instead of two lovers cranking out babies
Instead of making a deal just where the roads cross

Big mama's life is lightning fast
And I missing all the things that she said
I closed my eyes and bowed my head

Instead of having sure things just turn maybe
Instead of going to work , smoke a doobie
Instead of staying home I'll hit the highway
Instead of keeping up with her I went a little crazy

Big mama's life is lightning fast
And I missing all the things that she said
I closed my eyes and bowed my head

Instead of buying a ring ,I stiff my lover
Instead of giving a mile, I took too many
Instead of staying there I went go lucky
Instead of keeping up with her, I went a little crazy

Instead... Instead... Instead...
