Confederate Railroad Time Off For Bad Behavior Lyrics

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
