[Intro]
[Chorus]
I got an angel
of woman with
big brown eye

Friends in the
country, old
neckties
Big cheeseburg
ers and good F
rench fries
Could go fishi
ng but the fis
h draw flies
Could go swimm
ing if it ain'
t too deep
I'd rather jus
t sit here and
rest my feet
I know I ain't
lazy cause I
don't like sle
ep
Might just be
lazy to you
[Verse 1]
I want to live
in the city h
ave a telephon

Live in the co

dog a bone
Ride on space

Mama still tel

Ride a bicycle
