Tom Waits - Better Off Without A Wife Lyrics

Font:

Align:

All my friends are married

Every tom and dick and harry

You must be strong

To go it alone

Heres to the bachelors

And the bowery bums

And those who feel that theyre the ones

Who are better off without a wife

I like to sleep until the crack of noon

Midnight howlin at the moon

Goin out when I wanto, comin home when I please

I dont have to ask permission

If I want to go out fishing

And I never have to ask for the keys

Never been no valentino

Had a girl who lived in reno

Left me for a trumpet player

Didnt get me down

He was wanted for assault

Though he said it werent his fault

Well the coppers rode him right

Out of town

(chorus)

Selfish about my privacy

As long as I can be with me

We get along so well I cant believe

I love to chew the fat with folks

And listen to all your dirty jokes

Im so thankful for these friends

I do receive

(chorus)
