David Allen Coe - Time Off For Bad Behavior lyrics

rate me

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

David Says: Now being a songwriter, I wanna share this with you see. I think this is one of the coolest lines I ever wrote in my life. So I wanted to make sure you got it see. It says;

Well. I'm up at gone at the crack of dawn

I've been working like a regular dog

To keep my woman and the lights and the water and the phone turned on

I've been saying yes sir all day at work

I've been saying yes ma'am at home

I've been storing up the fuck you's

Keepin' em under my tounge

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've had this number on my mind awhile

I've been fighting off the urge to call

Pretty little stawberry blonde

With the southern drawl

Some good 'ol boys called from Alambama

Said the fish have been missing me

And I need to renew my friendship with Jim Beam

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 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 need a little time off
