I got to, got to get a job
Your teeth have chewed me to the cob
I'm sure somehow I'll make my pay
Just give me five to lay my head

I don't wanna go, darlin'
I got a whole lot of reasons to be home at the moment
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'

It's time to be a workin' man
Get an office if I can
I'll work a hundred shifts a week
Won't rest these eyes, won't get no sleep
I don't wanna go, darlin'

I got a whole lot of reasons to be home at the moment
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'
I got the world on my shoulders, and I just keep getting older
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'

And you're always on my mind
And I'd hate to see you cry
But I can't afford you
And you're always on my mind
And I'd hate to see you cry
But I can't afford you

I got a whole lot of reasons to be home at the moment
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'
I got the world on my shoulders, and I just keep getting older
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'

I don't wanna go, I don't wanna look, darlin'
And you're always on my mind
And I'd hate to see you cry
But I can't afford you
