Comin' home at the break of dawn
Baby, three nights in a row
She still keeps all the house lights on
As I walkin' on my tip toes
Shouldn't have driven... but I couldn't
Have stayed
I knew the trouble I was in
'Twas a hand I shouldn't have played
I knew there was no way to win
I swear she's gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
I swear she's gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
The night is young, like I used to be
But I'm still actin' like it
Running around so wild and free
But in these scenes I don't fit
Closing time is a frequent line...
When I'm howling at the moon
I tell myself that I'm just fine
But I runnin' right into ruin
I swear she's gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
I swear she's gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
She swore that she would thrill me
But left me dying here of thirst
I swear she's gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
High wire walker, smooth drunk talker
I just don't know when to quit
I'm tired of these lies and all these alibies
And of all the grief... all the grief that I get
I better go or maybe one for the road
The damage is already done
She doesn't know that I love her so
But I still like to have my fun
Bars are closed, but Nino knows
A place that will let us in
Stay for a while... tell some jokes with style
Talk a little treason and sin
I swear she's gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
I swear she's gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
She swore that she would thrill me
But left me dying here of thirst
I swear she's gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
