I Can Sleep When I'm Dead

  • Got a little game that I play
    And I call it "Try to beat the morning paper home"
    I ain't very good but I get a lot of practice
    Even won once a month ago
    Of course there was a girl involved that wasn't gonna let me rest
    But I've always said that I can sleep when I'm dead

    If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles of home
    You're gonna hear my V-8 sing
    Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane
    Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing
    Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet
    Like I said, I can sleep when I'm dead

    It ain't no fun if you ain't got money
    So I always make it in to work
    The trick is to leave at least a half an hour
    To brush my teeth and change my shirt
    Keep a closet full of Red Bull and Visine to hide the red
    I don't need the rest, I can sleep when I'm dead

    If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles of home
    You're gonna hear my V-8 sing
    Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane
    Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing
    Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet
    Like I said, I can sleep when I'm dead

    When I get tired, I'll go to bed
    All that I can say is that it hasn't happened yet

    If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles of home
    You're gonna hear my V-8 sing
    Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane
    Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing
    Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet
    Like I said
    Like I said
    Like I said
    I can sleep when I'm dead

    I ain't even tired yet Writer/s: Jason Michael Carroll, Jim Collins, Rivers Rutherford
