Well, I'm wild as a turkey, higher than a Christmas moon Empty as my wallet on a Sunday afternoon I come around too fast and I always leave too soon Ain't that what they all say? I come down from Memphis with a broken down Corvette A suitcase full of memories and a face you won't forget You say, "You'll never love me but the night ain't over yet." I'm gonna change your mind
Girl, I've been a gambler since the age of twenty-one I've seen my share of troubles and the wrong end of a gun This whole world is out to get me just because I have my fun But they ain't gonna slow me anyway Right ain't right, babe, and left ain't always wrong I bet you're tired of dancin' to the same old song You look like an angel in a place you don't belong I'm gonna take you away
Just because this place is closin' that don't mean it's time for bed We don't need no sleep, girl, will get plenty when were dead Leave these fools behind you now and come with me instead I'm gonna show you a time I'm wild as a turkey, higher than a Christmas moon Empty as my wallet on a Sunday afternoon I come around too fast and I always leave too soon Ain't that what they all say? Ain't that what they all say?
