[Verse 1]
Take a shot, kiss a guy because I want to
Doesn't mean I gotta wear his ring
Drop a bomb, quit the job, then blow a paycheck
On a bunch of shit that I don't need
Buy a ticket to Vegas
Go ahead girl, be shameless
[Verse 2]
Tell a joke, bum a smoke and burn some bridges
Watch the fear going up in flames
Throw a fit, throw your phone into the ocean
Send the whole thing down the drain
Kick the door wide open
Leaving no rule unbroken
[Chorus]
I'm so gone, I ain't askin' for permission
I'd rather crash and burn, live and learn, before I listen
So you can take all your rules, honey
You can keep them to yourself
'Cause baby, right or wrong, from now on I'ma be living
Without askin' for permission
[Verse 3]
Check yourself checking every little blank box
Aren't you tired of stayin' in those lines?
Raise your voice, make some noise and piss 'em all off
Blow a kiss goodbye to the safe side
Wonder if I'll miss it?
On second thought forget it
I was never made, made to be caged
I was made for jumping fences
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm so gone, I ain't askin' for permission
I'd rather crash and burn, live and learn, before I listen
So you can take all your rules, honey
You can keep them to yourself
'Cause baby, right or wrong, from now on I'ma be living
Without askin' for permission
Without askin' for permission
[Bridge]
'Cause I'd rather burn it all down
Than to find out what I'm missing
I'd rather have to ask for
Some forgiveness than permission
Yeah, I'd rather burn it all down
Than to find out what I'm missing
I'd rather have to ask for
Some forgiveness than permission
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm so gone, I ain't askin' for permission
I'd rather crash and burn, live and learn, before I listen
So you can take all your rules, honey
You can keep them to yourself
'Cause baby, right or wrong, from now on I'ma be living
Without askin' for permission
Without askin' for permission
