Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna live the way I like
Sleep all the morning, go and get my fun at night
Things ain't like that here
Workin' just to keep my payments clear
[Verse 2]
I brought a brand new motor
And I'm waitin' for a loan
So I can fill her up and start her
Then I'm goin' back home
[Verse 3]
I 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
And told me thatI treat her like a dog
[Verse 4]
The last time that I saw her
She was buryin' a bone
I'm tired of whistlin' for her
Then I'm goin' back home
[Verse 5]
Old Johnny Green, he asked me in
We watched his TV and we drank a little gin
Then I float on down the street
Smilin' at the faces that I meet
[Verse 6]
That was back this morning
Now I'm dizzy, sick, and stoned
When the world stops turning
Then I'm goin' back home
