Woke up this morning

I got out of bed

Too late to go to work

Walked my dog instead

I don't try too hard

But I get by

You don't have to tell me

Got a lot to learn

Think I gonna last

At your own back and term

I don't try too hard

But I get by

Yes! Yes! Yes!

You sit there with your fancy cigar

And you think I got it made yer

I don't want no fast car

Oh!Oh!Oh!

I'm never ready

Don't have to wait

Everybody know

I'm bound a get there late

I don't try too hard

But I get by

Hey! Lord!

You sit there with your fancy cigar

And you think I got it made yer

I don't want no fast car

Oh!Oh!Oh!

I'm never ready

Don't have to wait

Everybody know

I'm bound a get there late

I don't try too hard

But I get by

Woo!

I don't try too hard

Oh! Yer
