(Carlene Carter/Howie Epstein/Benmont Tench) Get out of bed you sleepy head And shake a leg or two The sun is up, pour some coffee in the cup The rent is way past due Could I rewind the hands of time Back to my wasted youth I'd lay the days all out in a line And waste my time with you The freeway's like a parkin' lot And I'm runnin' low on time I'm workin' double shifts to find I'm barely scrapin' by What I would give if I could live The way the rich folks do Just kickin' back in my cadillac And wastin' time with you
We could take the time so hard to find And wrestle it to the floor Then wake up and do nothin' like it's never been done before Sometimes at night my thoughts ignite In dreams of great escape A couple sticks of dynamite And no more workin' late I'm sure the cops would understand They're workin' people too And I'd like to take this chance to thank Those hard workin' boys in blue Just kickin' back in our cadillac And wastin' time with you Just wastin' time with you I wanna be wastin' time with you
