This is the night I've been dreaming of forever The mirror takes a look at my face I'll never set foot in that rat hole again But I'll drive to your place I spit gravel As I back out of the back door And the twenties roll aroun' in my hand It's funny now, when I don't show up on Monday They'll go nuts, and eat their hats, well, what do you think of that? She says: you're throing life away To move with a man like me She's not blind She just don't have mind to see This is a habit I'm breaking now forever I'm weary from trying to shake it So when I ask if your don't give me your hand I'll take it Right now From your mother's side of town She says: you're throwing life away To move with a man like me She's not blind She just don't have a mind to see She says: you're throwing life away To move with a man like me Just to move with a man like me
