Too Lazy To Work, Too Nervous To Steal (Album Version) - Br549

Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight

In a cheap hotel on the Missouri side

I had you out in my car in the parking lot

Early next morning we were driving east

Headed for the big city where I felt at least

We could enjoy the weather

As long as we didn't talk

But I spoiled it by speaking my swirly head

And you rolled them eyes turned to me and said

There's only one thing you got wrong with you

It ain't the whole world looking at you

Why don't you find yourself a life that's real

Too lazy to work too nervous to steal

Well we got to the city and you got a job

Delivering the L L B Catalog

I was bored and restless

Didn't know where to go

That late one evening after I got up

My guitar and I found our way into a club

I saw the queen of diamonds work

That big dance floor

Well she looked at me but I couldn't go

That familiar face said do you want to know

There's only one thing you got wrong with you

It ain't the whole world looking at you

Why don't you find yourself a life that's real

Too lazy to work too nervous to steal

You gave me 24 hours

To pack up my bags and glide

No one's got respect

For a man going over the side

Well you went back to the station

To make sure I was gone

That bus was on time

You didn't have to wait long

I saw the bright lights of Nashville

Disappear behind me

Well that greyhound was cool

Under the summer heat

I could still see your face

From my window seat

I was so happy to see

Your crooked smile of relief

But after miles and miles of

That highway has droned

I hear the last thing you said

When we were all alone

There's only one thing you got wrong with you

It ain't the whole world looking at you

Why don't you find yourself a life that's real

Too lazy to work too nervous to steal

Too lazy to work too nervous to steal

Yo do lay dee hee
