I’ve been stayin’ out and off the internet
Workin’ on the bike I ain’t finish yet
I don’t sleep too much, I don’t go to bed
Like a good boy should
I’ve been savin’ up for a pickup truck
Money down, you ain’t got enough
Man, I’ll run this town when my next check comes
Like a good boy should
I’ve been runnin’ low on nickels and dimes
I don’t think of you, I ain’t got the time
I’m walkin’ straight, but it’s a crooked old line
God, I swear I’m tryin’ like a good boy should
Well, they clean up nice with the diamond fringe
The tumbling dice walkin’ down on Fifth
And the wrestlers try out politics
While the getting’s good
I ain’t wrote a word in a month or so
‘Cause my hands, they hurt from a pen so cold
And the summer’s gone, didn’t leave a note
Like a good boy should
I’ve been runnin’ low on nickels and dimes
I ain’t next up for no peace of mind
I’m walkin’ straight, but it’s a crooked old line
God, I swear I’m tryin’ like a good boy should
