[Verse 1]

Out of jail "without fail"

This is what they said

You must report, but my retort

"You bumped your fucking head"

Three years sobriety

On that I wouldn't bet

You can't say no to a P.O. 

That you never met


[Chorus]

Hey, it's me, it's A.F.G. 

Absconding from the gate

My P.O. don't need to know

He wouldn't think it's great

Out on tour, I'm here for sure

And this I must restate:

I'm M.D.C., it's A.F.G. 

Absconding from the gate


[Verse 2]

My P.O. said, "You can't go

Just sit at home and rot"

But you know I'm a little slow

"I guess I just forgot"

Supervision and condition

My P.O.'s an asshole

He won't agree but M.D.C.'s

More important than parole


[Chorus]

Hey, it's me, it's A.F.G. 

Absconding from the gate

My P.O. don't need to know

He wouldn't think it's great

Out on tour, I'm here for sure

And this I must restate:

I'm M.D.C. and A.F.G. 

Absconding from the gate

Absconding from the gate

Absconding from the gate

Absconding from the gate


[Verse 3]

Yeah, he'll get a kick

From sanctioning my time

But as I say, here I play

P.O., it's such a crime

I'll get a ten-day sanction

It's thirty at the most

Don't you worry, I won't hurry

I'm playing coast to coast


[Chorus]

Hey, it's me, it's A.F.G. 

Absconding from the gate

My P.O. don't need to know

He wouldn't think it's great

Out on tour, I'm here for sure

And this I must restate:

I'm M.D.C. and A.F.G. 

Absconding from the gate

Absconding from the gate

Absconding from the gate

Absconding from the gate
