In the Mood
I was a wild one
Back in the day
I just couldn't say no
But I gave up the cocaine
The pills and the smoke
And now I'm straight as an arrow
Oh, but I'm in the mood
Yeah I'm in the mood
Lord knows I could use a little change in altitude
Can't help it now
I'm in the mood
Alone for the weekend
Got nothin' to do
Just turn some Allman Brothers on
Kick back on the sofa
Just watch the candles burn
I figure, hell, I might as well be stoned
Yeah I'm in the mood
Yeah I'm in the mood
Lord knows I could use a little change in altitude
Who's holding? Come on, tell me now
I'm in the mood
Well I'm not fallin' off the wagon
I got way too much to lose
There's a girl, she sees the best in me
She'll be comin' home soon
I just gotta make it through a few more days
Oh, yeah I'm in the mood
Yeah I'm in the mood
Lord knows I could use a little change in altitude
Can't help it now
I'm in the mood
Yeah I'm in the mood
