BR5-49 - Too Lazy To Work, Too Nervous To Steal Lyrics
Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fightIn a cheap hotel on the Missouri sideI had you out in my car in the parking lotEarly next morning we were driving eastHeaded for the big city where I felt at leastWe could enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talkBut I spoiled it by speaking my swirly headAnd you rolled them eyes turned to me and said[chorus]There's only one thing you got wrong with youIt ain't the whole world looking at youWhy don't you find yourself a life that's realToo lazy to work, too nervous to stealWell we got to the city and you got a jobDelivering the L.L.B. catalogueI was bored and restless, didn't know where to goLate one evening after I got upMy guitar and I found our way into a clubI saw the queen of diamonds work that big dance floorWell she looked at me but I couldn't goThat familiar face said, do you want to know[chorus]There's only one thing you got wrong with youIt ain't the whole world looking at youWhy don't you find yourself a life that's realToo lazy to work, too nervous to stealYou gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glideNo one's got respect for a man going over the sideWell you went back to the station to make sure I was goneThat bus was on time you didn't have to wait longI saw the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind meWell that greyhound was cool under the summer heatI could still see your face from my window seatI was so happy to see your crooked smile of reliefBut after miles and miles of that highway has dronedI hear the last thing you said when we were all alone[chorus]There's only one thing you got wrong with youIt ain't the whole world looking at youWhy don't you find yourself a life that's realToo lazy to work, too nervous to stealToo lazy to work, too nervous to stealYo-do-lay-dee-hee
