Time Off For Bad Behavior

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 ma'am" at home

Savin' up my cuss words

And keepin' 'em under my tongue

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've 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

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've been too good for too long

I got a number on my mind

That I've 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

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've been too good for too long

I said, "It looks like I've been too damn good too long"

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've been too good for too long
