Time off for bad behavior

Time off for bad behavior Lyrics

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 & TAG
