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 Ive been too good for too long

Im up at dawn at the crack of dawn
Ive been working like a regular dog
To keep my woman and the lights and the water and the phone turned on
Ive been saying yes sir all day at work
Ive been saying yes maam at home
Ive been storing up the fuck yous
Keepin em under my tounge

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 Ive been too good for too long

Ive had this number on my mind awhile

With the southern draw

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 Ive 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 Ive been too good for too long

I need a little time off
