It's too early for the circus it's too late for the bars
everyones sleepin but the paperboys
and no one in this town is makin any noise
but the dogs and the milkmen and me

the girls around here all look like Cadillacs
and no one likes a stranger here
 [bad word] home but I'm afraid that you won't take me back
but I'd trade off everything just to have you near

I know I'm irresponsible and I don't behave
and [bad word] everything that I do
and I'll probably get arrested when I'm in my grave
but I'll be savin all my love for you

I paid fifteen dollars for a prostitute
with too much makeup and a broken shoe
but her eyes were just a counterfeit she tried to gyp me out of it
but you know that I'm still in love with you

don't listen to [bad word] that you hear about me
cause I ain't half as bad as they make me out to be
well I may lose my mind but baby can't you see
that I'll be savin all my love for you
