LeAnn Rimes Lyrics help? ?

Question

in 'nothing better to do' she says, "Case of .5" ['out the back door' or something like that

what does case of .5 mean? did she shoplift or what?

Answer 1

This is a great song! I think it's the girl in the song [in the video, I believe LeAnn's stage name is Annie Jewel] telling her fellow inmates her story, what happened during her adolescence that kind of paved her path to prison. That's what I think, based on the video.

Based on the song itself, it just sounds like a song telling of her past (not LeAnn's real past, as we know she's been in the spotlight since she was 13), and all the trouble she got into during her misfit adolescence. Also, it's kind of one of those songs where she's saying, "This is who I am, I've made mistakes, I've been a troublemaker, but I am myself, and I am free."  

Answer 2

Yes, it means that she stole a case of ought 5 caliber ammunition

Answer 3

Not really for sure, but I think it's either a case of some kind of beer or a case of bullets. I'm guessing its more likely the latter.

And yeah... she shoplifted. :)

Answer 4

My interpretation of the song is, she was just a kid looking for thrills the hard way, and kicking out at her mother.

Possible crackhead (these days), boot camp before jail.

Case of 5 is either her rap sheet list or the number she was when called into court?
