I'm up and gone everyday at dawn just a workin' like a regular dog
|
To keep the woman and the water and the lights and the phone turned on
|
I've been sayin' "Yes sir" all day at work, I've been sayin' "Yes maam" at home
|
Savin' up my cuss words and keepin' 'em under my tongue
|
|
CHORUS
|
I need a little time off for bad behavior
|
The devil in me done been asleep too long
|
I need a little time off for bad behavior
|
It looks like I been too good for too long
|
|
Well I went to a company party, I didn't even drink enough to get high
|
I met a preppy little wimp I shoulda whipped but I let him slide
|
Ol' Hambone McGraw got the law paid off dealing blackjack Saturday nights
|
And I could triple my take-home pay if it weren't for my wife
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
I got a number on my mind that I been a fightin' off the urge to call
|
A hot, hell-raisin' blonde bomb with a Southern drawl
|
Some good-old boys called collect from Mississippi, said the fishin' been a missin' me
|
And I could sure get it up for a smoke and a Delta Queen
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
