This is the 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 mind to see

This is a habit I´m breaking now forever
I´m weary from trying to shake it
So when I ask if you won´t give me your hand
I´ll 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 to see

She says, you´re throwing life away
To move with a man like me
Just to move with a man like me
