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
