This is a 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 around 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 throwing life away To move with a man like me She's not blind, she just don't have a mind, you see This is a habit I'm breaking now forever I'm weary from trying to shake it So when I ask if you'll give me your hand I 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, you see She says you're throwing life away To move with a man like me Just to move with a man like me
