Jerry Jeff Walker — I Like to Sleep Late In the Morning lyrics

Lyrics

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»
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
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
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
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
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
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»
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
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
