lyrics
I'm so damn tired I can't get a grip
I need a nurse to give me coffee on an IV drip
I got a million things that I gotta do
But I'm so damn sleepy I can't find my shoe
Not enough hours in the day to get stuff done
I'm too damn tired to even have any fun
Even when I close my eyes, I see the sun
The neighbor's dog is barking... where's my gun?
I just want to let everybody know I'm tired
I don't want to take anything to get all wired
A good long nap is all that I desire
But if I fall asleep at work, I'll be fired
Not enough hours in the day to get stuff done
I'm too damn tired to even have any fun
Even when I close my eyes, I see the sun
The neighbor's dog is barking... where's my gun?
Two hours of sleep. No end in sight
I don't even know if it's day or night.
If I could sleep, I'd be all set
But I can't stop now, can't... lay... down yet
Not enough hours in the day to get stuff done
I'm too damn tired to even have any fun
Even when I close my eyes, I see the sun
That neighbor's dog is barking... where's my gun?
