(note from Zevonfan1--I greatly prefer the alternate reading of "And I DON`T intend to use it on myself")
So much to do, there`s plenty on the farm
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
I`m drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
Straight from the bottle, twisted again
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
Well, I take this medicine as prescribed
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
It don`t matter if I get a little tired
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
I`ve got a .38 special up on the shelf
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
If I start acting stupid
I`ll shoot myself
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
So much to do, there`s plenty on the farm
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I`ll sleep when I`m dead
