lyrics

Swingin' from the rafters
Everybody's after a good time
Swingin' from the ceiling
Sometimes you get that feelin' inside

Can you determine what's enough?
If you ain't never had too much? Can't you see?
If things get out of hand
It's best to sleep right where you land
That's why I'm sleepin' on the floor

Apologized to the neighbors
Done them a thousand favors - I think we're even
They really oughta thank me
I mulched their lawn so gladly with my pickup

Shootin' for the stars
With country songs and guitars
But all you do is hit the ceiling
When I'm out raising hell
It's best to sleep right where you fell
That' s why I'm sleepin' on the floor

If I wasn't in trouble
Hell, I wouldn't know where I'd be
Something's gonna burn
When you're tryin' to blow off some stream
Somethin's gonna bleed
When the game you're playin' is called extreme
That's why I gotta scratch my head
When you ask me
To enjoy responsibly?

Shootin' for the stars
With country songs and guitars
But all you do is hit the ceiling
When I'm out raising hell
It's best to sleep right where you fell
That' s why I'm sleepin' on the floor
