[Chorus]
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've been too good for too long

Well, I'm up and gone at the break a' dawn
I've been working like a regular dog
To keep my woman and the lights and the water
And the phone turned on

I've been saying, "Yes sir" all day at work
I've been saying, "Yes ma'am" at home
I've been storing up the cuss words
Keeping them under my tongue

[Chorus]

I had this number on my mind a while
I've been fighting off the urge to call
A pretty little strawberry blonde with a Southern drawl

Some good old boys called from Alabama
Said the fish has been a missing me
And I need to renew my friendship with Jim Beam
[Chorus]

[Chorus]

I need a little time off for bad behavior
The devil in me done been asleep too long
I've gotta have a little time off for bad behavior
It looks like I've been too good
