"Need A Little Time Off For Bad Behavior"

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'm up at dawn 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 cuss words
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

I've had this number on my mind awhile
I've been fighting off the urge to call
Pretty little strawberry blonde with the southern draw
Some good ol' boys called from Alabama
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 for bad behavior
The devil in me done been asleep too long
I've gotta have a little time off for bad behavior
I look like I've been too good for too long
