Generate meaning
1
Honey, the way you play guitar makes me feel so
2
Makes me feel so masochistic
3
The way you go down low deep into the neck
4
And I would do anything, and I would do anything and Patty Hearst
5
You're standing there in front of the Symbionese
6
Liberation army flag with your legs spread
7
I was wondering will you get it every night
8
From a black revolutionary man and his women or whether you really did
9
And now that you're on the run what goes on in your mind
10
Your sisters they sit by the window
11
You know your mama doesn't sit and cry and your daddy
12
Well you know what your daddy said
13
Patty, you know what your daddy said
14
Patty, he said, he said, he said
15
Well, sixty days ago she was such a lovely child
16
Now here she is with a gun in her hand
17
Hey Joe, hey Joe, where're you going with that gun in your hand?
18
Hey Joe, I said where're you goin' with that gun in your hand?
19
I'm gonna go shoot my ol' lady
20
You know I found her messin' around town with another man
21
And you know that ain't cool, watch me
22
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down
23
You shot her down to the ground, you shot her
24
Yes I did, yes I did, yes I did, I shot her, I shot her
25
I caught her messin' round with some other man
26
So I got on my truck, I gave her the gun and I shot her
27
I shot her, shoot her one more time for me
28
Hey Joe, where you gonna, where you gonna run to?
29
Where you gonna run to, Joe, where you gonna run to ?
30
Go get a cover, I'm gonna go down south
31
I'm gonna go down south to Mexico
32
I'm going down, down, down to Mexico where a man can be free
33
No one's gonna put a noose around my neck
34
No one is gonna give me life, no
35
I'm goin' down to Mexico, I'm going down
36
You're not going to hear 'em stand there
37
And look at the stars as big as holes in the arms
38
And the stars like a back truck electric flag
39
And I'm standing there under that flag with your carbine
40
Between my legs, you know, I felt so free of death beyond me
41
I felt so free, the F.B.I. is looking for me baby
42
But they'll never find me, no, they can hold me down like a
43
And I'm still on the run and they can speculate what I'm free
44
But daddy, daddy, you'll never know just what I was feelin'
45
But I'm sorry, I am no little pretty little rich girl
46
I am nobody's million dollar baby, I am nobody's patsy anymore
47
I'm nobody's million dollar baby, I'm nobody's patsy anymore
48
And I feel so free
