Hey, I was out last night started a fight
Feelin’ bad this morning and a-lookin’ a sight
Stumblin’ and a-fumblin’ and a-feelin’ for the knob of my door
‘Cause I just can’t live that fast anymore
Well, I remember back when the fun begin
Noon the next day ‘fore I come in
And the morning never bothered me after the night before
But I just can’t live that fast anymore
Well, take a look at me and you can see
That that fast livin’ brings misery
Just a messed up rick at the end with blood-shot eyes
Man, you just can’t live that fast and get by
Take my advice think it over twice
Live real slow and be real nice
You better heed this warning I’m a-givin’ you in this song
‘Cause you just can’t live that fast very long
Well, I remember back when the fun begin
Noon the next day ‘fore I come in
And the morning never bothered me after the night before
But I just can’t live that fast anymore
