Sometimes I get upset when people treat me bad
I don't have time to think, and so I get real mad
And I pull my hair and find somewhere where I can be alone
And when I do I think of you and head myself back home

Where I got chores to keep me busy, a clock to keep my time
A pretty girl to love me, with the same last name as mine
When the flowers wilt, a big old quilt to keep us warm
And I got the sun to see your blue eyes, and tonight you're in my arms

Sometimes I get unwound when fancy cars drive past
Money don't get me down, I can't make it last
And I bite my nails and if that fails I go get myself stoned
And when I do I think of you and head myself back home

Where I got chores to keep me busy, a clock to keep my time
A pretty girl to love me, with the same last name as mine
And when the flowers wilt, a big old quilt to keep us warm
And I got the sun to see your blue eyes, and tonight you're in my arms

Sometimes I get unwound when fancy cars drive past
Money don't get me down, I can't make it last
I bite my nails and if that fails I go get myself stoned
And when I do I think of you and head myself back home

Where I got chores to keep me busy, a clock to keep my time
A pretty girl to love me, with the same last name as mine
And when the flowers wilt, a big old quilt to keep us warm
And I got the sun to see your blue eyes, and tonight you're in my arms
