Jerry Jeff Walker
When the telephone woke me this morning, I`m sorry was the first thing I said
From that point it get`s a bit fuzzy, thinking with half a head
Putting the pieces together, it`s shocking to flash on the past
`Cause when you are known as a rascal, you can bet you showed off your ass
Chorus:
I was so bad last night, I`ll be good for the rest of my life
Now I`m telling you and this is the truth
I have finally seen the light
From now on I`m going to act right, I was so bad last night
The harder I try to remember, the quicker my brain starts to hurt
It really is funny, unwadding the money, that`s been stuffed in my pants and shirt
But tryin` to make sense of phone numbers, scribbled on the backs of old cards
I guess we ought to be thankful, nobody knows who we are
Alternate Chorus:
I was so bad last night, I`ll be good for the rest of my life
Now I`m telling you and this is the truth
I tore up the bar, lost a pretty nice car
It`s a good bet I ticked off my wife
I never intended to do it, I dropped in for a drink or two
But all of the chicks were so foxy, I wanted to marry a few
The place was more crowded than usual, and everyone there was my friend
Franny and Snake and Bunky and Jake, and somehow the night never ends
Chorus
