Thanks for the bed and board Bob enjoyed my stay
But I got just a little bit bored Bob be on my way
So you got yourself a job Bob that`s not for me
You got a house and a wife Bob but I`m still free
Remember the good ole days around the Frisco yard Bob for you they`re gone
Now your wife`s lookin` at me kinda hard Bob I`ll move along
[ fiddle + steel ]
So you got yourself a housewife Bob and a housenote too
Reclining chairs and phone bills Bob that`s not for you
I`m a headin` out LA way Bob there ain`t no spare
The freight pulls out today Bob do you dare
Remember the good times down in New Orleans Bob that Cajun Queen
And your wife`s lookin` at me kinda hard Bob she thinks I`m mean
[ fiddle + steel ]
Thanks for the bed and board Bob enjoyed my stay
But just forget all the top Bob bout the good ole days
Cause your wife`s a little bit scared Bob you wanna be free
But you and me both know Bob you`re better off than me
Remember the cold nights out on Frisco yard Bob and the hard cold ground
Now your wife`s lookin` at me kinda hard Bob see you around
