Lyrics

Well the doc said, "Son, you gotta quit this life you lead before you die" I said, "I can't quit, it's all I know and I can't afford to die How am I suppose to pay your bill the I'm six feet in the ground? Who in the hell is gonna feed my dog when I'm no longer 'round?" I said, "Isn't there somethin' you can do doc? Some kinda pill or remedy?" He said, "I ain't never heard of no drug that works to keep a man from bein' lazy" "Lazy? Now just watch it Doc, 'cause I work really hard See from 10PM to 2AM every night I play my guitar That's right, that's right, and I drink real hard and I smoke real hard And hell I hardly have time to sleep Lately I've been eatin' so damn hard I can hardly feel my feet, oh can't even see 'em About ten and a half double d" Well I sat down and I pondered a while about what that good doc had said And I thought real quietly to myself, "You know, maybe I'd be better off dead Now you see, a dead man don't have to worry about the police for any warrants he might have out And I'd no longer have to hide from the credit card collectors tryin' to flush my dead beat out Yeah man that'd be great, no more smoke filled lungs or bars And no more worryin' 'bout that big ol' beer belly I'm gonna get from drinkin' too hard" "Spare tire, it's a Dunlop 44 Extra Wide No more playin' all night long, no more hangovers that last all damn day July 5th is official hangover day No more meetin' beautiful Texas women and rollin' 'round in the hay" Well I've got some find memories of San Angelo And I've seen some beauty queens in El Paso But the best lookin' women that I've ever seen Have all been in Texas and all wearin' jeans I'm a country plowboy not an urban cowboy And I don't ride bulls but I have fought some men And drivin' pick up trucks just ain't got enough And I live to love Texas women Make love to the camera everyone Who the hell am I kiddin'? I don't wanna die I gotta lot of things left to do Got a lotta drinkin' and smokin' and pickin' and grinnin' Writin' songs for all of you I wanna live forever At least as long as I can I wanna smoke them cigarettes And feel the burnin' in my lungs man I wanna drink a lot of whiskey And get drunk and stupid stoned I wanna make love to my woman Feel the passion burn all night long Lord, don't take me now You got to give me a little more time I got few loose ends down here to tie up A lotta worries on my mind I wanna live forever, just as long as I can I wanna smoke them Marlboro Lights And feel the burnin' in my lungs again I wanna drink Wild Turkey And get drunk and stupid stoned I wanna make love to my Texas woman All night long Lord, don't take me now You got to give me a little more time I got few loose ends down here to tie up A lotta worries on my mind Lord I got few loose ends down here to tie up Oh don't you know I can't afford Oh Lord knows I can't afford to die
