Chesnutt, Mark - Need A Little Time Off For Bad Behavior Lyrics






I need a little time off for bad behavior
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

I'm up and gone at the break of dawn
I'v been workin' like a regular dog
To keep the woman and the lights
And the water and the phone turned on

I've been sayin' 'Yes sir' all day at work
I've been sayin' 'Yes maam' at home
Been storin' 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 been too good for too long

I have this number on my mind a while
I been fightin' off the urge to call
Pretty little strawberry blonde
With a Southern drawl

Some good old boys from Alabama
Said the fishin' been missin' 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 been too good for too long

  1. M.... M....

    Anyone else ever so satisfied with a
    performance that
    you don't feel the
    need to investigate another? This is
    one of those cases; this song
    is almost perfect
    except I wish the
    orchestration had called for a fade out
    rather than an abrupt ending.
    Still, I prefer this version to D. A.
    Coe & "Railroad"
    because I like
    Chestnut's voice
    MUCH BETTER,
    and the orchestration is
    somewhat better.
    Fair enough?
