Lyrics
Lately I been sittin' here just thinkin'
The life I lead has gotta be a drag
Punchin all these buttons on computers
windows 95 just ain't my bag
Getting up so early in the mornin'
One more poptart's gonna make me gag
Gettin home so late in the evenin'
just to watch T.V. with the old nag.
Friday comes and then it's time for freedom
Freedom just to mow and rake and weed 'em
I wish I had a son to cut the lawn
So I could watch the football game and yawn
Then I'd fire up the barbeque
And show em 'em what suburban man can do
but hopefully some day I will reform
And a way gone cat will be reborn
Yeah, I wanna be a rockabilly rebel
I wanna dance and drag and drive away the night
I wanna tell all these fools rockabilly rules
and maybe then we'll even have a fight
I'm gonna quit my job and join a rockabilly mob
Now that I have finally seen the light
Or maybe I'll find work as a rockin' soda jerk,
or maybe I'l go cruisin on my bike
I'm gonna quit my job and join a rockabilly mob
now that I have finally seen the light
I'm gonna get a guitar and a hot rod car
and maybe even get a brand new wife
I'l fill my hair with grease so I can lose the police
when they try and take my switchblade knife
Yeah I'm breakin' free cause I'm bound to be
The coolest thing around since Barney Fife.
