Jerry Jeff Walker — I Like To Sleep Late In The Morning

[Verse 1] Some gal told me today "Boy you're wasting your life away" Said "It's a bad way you spend your time "Boy you're never gonna make a dime" [Chorus] I like to sleep late in the morning I don't like to wear no shoes Make love to the women While I'm living Get drunk from a bottle of booze [Verse 2] No this can't go on To get up each day at dawn Get a job and do it right You're back to bed every single night [Chorus] But I like to sleep late in the morning I don't like to wear no shoes Make love to the women While I'm living Get drunk from a bottle of booze [Verse 3] A lot's waitin' for me Straight is how how I could be Smiling all the time I got my hair cut and my shoes shined [Chorus] But I like to sleep late in the morning I don't like to wear no shoes Make love to the women While I'm living Get drunk from a bottle of booze [Verse 4] A gal told me today (What'd she say?) "Boy, you're wasting you life away" (Oy vey) She said "It's bad, bad the way you spend your time "You're never gonna make a dime" [Chorus] But I like to sleep late in the morning I don't like to wear no shoes Make love to the women While I'm living Get drunk from a bottle of booze [Outro] Yeah I like to sleep late in the morning I don't like to wear no shoes Make love to the women While I'm swimming Get drunk from a bottle of booze I like to sleep late in the morning I don't like to wear no shoes Make love to the women While I'm swimming And then get drunk from a bottle of booze
