I Can Sleep When I'm Dead

I got a little game that I play and I call it

Try to beat the morning paper home

I ain't very good, but I get a lot of practice

Even won once a month ago

Of course there was a girl involved that wasn't gonna let me rest

But I've always said, I can sleep when I'm dead

If there's something goin' on within a hundred miles from home

You're gonna hear my V-8 sing

Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane

Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing

Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet

Like I said, I can sleep when I'm dead

It ain't no fun if you ain't got money

So I always make it in to work

The trick is to leave at least a half an hour

To brush my teeth and clean my shirt

Keep a closet full of Red Bull and Visine to hide the red

I don't need the rest, I can sleep when I'm dead

If there's something goin' on within a hundred miles from home

You're gonna hear my V-8 sing

Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane

Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing

Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet

Like I said, I can sleep when I'm dead

When I get tired I'll go to bed

All that I can say is that it hasn't happened yet

If there's something goin' on within a hundred miles from home

You're gonna hear my V-8 sing

Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane

Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing

Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet

Like I said, like I said

Like I said, I can sleep when I'm dead
