Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I wanna live the way I like
Sleep all the morning, go and get my fun at night
Yeah, things ain't like that here, workin' just to keep my payments clear
I bought a brand new motor and I'm waitin' on a loan
So I can fill her up and start her, then I'm going back home
[Verse 2]
I've got a girl, a man's best friend
I'd have her now if she'd just come back again
But she left me in the fog, told me that I treat her like a dog
The last time that I saw her, she was buryin' a bone
I'm tired of whistlin' for her, so I'm going back home
[Verse 3]
Old Johnny Green, he asked me in
We watched his TV and we drank a little gin
Then I float off down the street, smilin' at the faces that I meet
But that was back this morning, now I'm dizzy, sick and stoned
And when the world stops turnin', then I'm going back home
