Need A Little Time Off For Bad Behavior Lyrics - David Allan Coe

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 

Well I'm up and gone at the break of dawn I've 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 

Savin' up my cuss words and 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 had this number on my mind a while I been a fightin' off the urge to call 

A pretty little strawberry blonde with a Southern drawl 

Some good old boys called from Alabama 

Said the fishin' been a 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 

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 need a little time off for bad behavior 

The devil in me done been asleep too long 

I better have a little time off for bad behavior 

It looks like I been too good for too long
