You've got your hair permed
You've got your red dress on
Talkin' bout how second gear was such a turn on
And the fog forming on my window tells me that the morning's here
And you'll be gone before too long
Who taught you those new tricks?
Damn I should'nt start that talk
But life is onw big question when your starin at the clock
And the answers always waiting at the liqour store
40 ounces to freedom
So I'll take that walk
And I know that ohhhh...I'm not comin back
Ohh not going back
God knows not going back
You look so fine when you lie it just don't show
But I know which way the wind blows
A 40 oz to freedom is the only chance I have
To feel good even though I feel bad
And I know that ohhhh...I'm not comin back
Ohh not going back
God knows I'm not going back
God knows I'm not going back

Year: 1992
This touching song about the wrong way to escape from life showcases the thoughtful songwriting skills that Bradley had, even early in his career with Sublime. This short song, which details the way that Bradley would look to alcohol to solve his problems, all the while telling himself that "I'm not going back" is the title track for Sublime's 1992 independent label debut album, 40 oz. to Freedom, which has been certified platinum, and is among the best-selling indie albums ever made.
