John & Audrey Wiggins - I Can Sleep When I'm Dead Lyrics

Well it's 9pm, four hours of overtime
I'm not working my way up the corporate ladder
Just a hard hat on the line
I'm just a hard hat on the line

Well, I'm dog tired and draggin'
But I'm gettin' my second wind
These boots were made for dancin'
And kickin' back with friends

Loadin' dock, punch the clock
Crank the truck, kickin' dust, gonna paint the whole town red
I ought to put these tired old bones to bed
But I'm livin' it up, I can sleep when I'm dead

Time's way too short they ain't makin' anymore
I'm havin' fun, my workin' day is done
I ought to put these tired bones to bed
But I'm livin' it up, I can sleep when I'm dead

I know a place that's open all night
They got a sawdust floor and flashing neon light
They got a flashing neon light
They got a flashing neon light
They know me 'cause I'm sure there a lot
And nobody takes my favorite parking spot

Loadin' dock, punch the clock
Crank the truck, kickin' dust, gonna paint the whole town red
I ought to put these tired old bones to bed
But I'm livin' it up, I can sleep when I'm dead

Time's way too short, they ain't makin' anymore
I'm havin' fun, my working day is done
Time's way too short, they ain't makin' anymore
I'm havin' fun, my workin' day is done
I ought to put these tired bones to bed
But I'm livin' it up, I can sleep when I'm dead

I ought to put these tired old bones to bed
But I'm livin' it up, I can sleep when I'm dead
I ought to put these tired old bones to bed
But I'm livin' it up, I can sleep when I'm dead

I'm livin' it up, I can sleep when I'm dead
I'm livin' it up, I can sleep when I'm dead
Livin' it up, livin' it up, livin' it up
I can sleep when I'm dead
