Hit the Road Jack
Breaking Free: Hit the Road to Liberation
Lyrics
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Hit the road Jack and leave; end the relationship
No more, no more, no more, no more
Reinforces the idea of leaving, emphasizing "no more"
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Reiteration of the command to leave, emphasizing finality
No more
Emphasizes the termination of the relationship
What'd you say?
Expression of surprise or disbelief at the statement
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Repeat of the command to leave, maintaining the urgency
No more, no more, no more, no more
Emphasizes the persistence of the decision to end the relationship
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Reiteration of the command to leave, emphasizing finality
No more
Emphasizes the termination of the relationship
Oh woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean
Addressing the woman, expressing displeasure with her behavior
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever have seen
Describing the woman as exceptionally mean
I guess if you say so
Acknowledging the woman's perspective without agreeing
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Acceptance of the need to leave due to mistreatment
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Repeating the command to leave, maintaining the urgency
No more, no more, no more, no more
Emphasizes the persistence of the decision to end the relationship
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Reiteration of the command to leave, emphasizing finality
No more
Emphasizes the termination of the relationship
What'd you say?
Expression of surprise or disbelief at the statement
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Repeating the command to leave, maintaining the urgency
No more, no more, no more, no more
Emphasizes the persistence of the decision to end the relationship
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Reiteration of the command to leave, emphasizing finality
No more
Emphasizes the termination of the relationship
Now baby, listen baby, don't you treat me this way
Advising the woman not to mistreat the speaker
'Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
Expressing confidence in overcoming difficulties and returning stronger
Don't care if you do, 'cause it's understood
Indifference towards the woman's reaction due to lack of financial stability
You ain't got no money, you just ain't no good
Implying that the woman's worth is tied to financial status
Well, I guess if you say so
Acknowledging the necessity to leave in response to mistreatment
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Acceptance of the need to leave due to mistreatment
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Repeating the command to leave, maintaining the urgency
No more, no more, no more, no more
Emphasizes the persistence of the decision to end the relationship
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Reiteration of the command to leave, emphasizing finality
No more
Emphasizes the termination of the relationship
What'd you say?
Expression of surprise or disbelief at the statement
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Repeating the command to leave, maintaining the urgency
No more, no more, no more, no more
Emphasizes the persistence of the decision to end the relationship
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Reiteration of the command to leave, emphasizing finality
No more
Emphasizes the termination of the relationship
Well (don't you come back no more)
Reiteration of the command with a musical interjection
Uh, what you say? (don't you come back no more)
Expressing confusion or disbelief at the woman's statement
I didn't understand you (don't you come back no more)
Confirming the lack of understanding of the woman's words
You can't mean that (don't you come back no more)
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of the woman's statement
Oh now baby please (don't you come back no more)
Pleading with the woman to reconsider the decision
What you tryin' to do to me? (don't you come back no more)
Questioning the woman's intentions and the impact on the speaker
Oh, don't treat me like that, baby (don't you come back no more)
Expressing the emotional distress caused by the woman's actions
